MSN 7391 too is being prepared for long term storage We have seen in the last few weeks that 'long term' storage paint can be used just for a few weeks. |

It is interesting since IndiGo is taking older A320s - looking at skyliner over some period of time - there is almost always some going to India i.e. they are ready to take the planes but probably P&W is unable to deliver the engines.
The problems with the engines and/or the production problems are still there.

Yes, but I suspect it is related to the engine production shortfall at P&W. IndiGo is about to take delivery of their 11th A320neo while number #20 or so has rolled off the assembly line. So Airbus is missing engines for some 9 IngiGo frames, hence they have no other choice than putting them into storage. |

The problems with the engines and/or the production problems are still there. I'm not aware of any engine problems. The production ramp-up is going slower than planned due to difficulties with the production of the fan blades. |

I'm not aware of any engine problems. The temperature issue still has not been fully solved, if we believe QR. Other issues seem to belong to the past. |

AFAIK the temperature issue is related to the hydraulic system of the airframe and not to the engine itself.

I understood the root cause is that the P&W engine is running at a slightly higher temperature than scheduled, with reverberation on the aircraft operation. You may be right, though, in which case the LEAP 1-A A320neo should have the same problem. |
