HK Express (UO, Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok) has deferred its latest delivery of A320-200 (sl) aircraft, reports AIN Online. The low cost carrier had planned to operate a total of eight of the type by end-2017. However, due to ongoing concerns with the Pratt & Whitney PW1127G engines, it will stick to the three currently in its fleet which it leases from Norwegian's Arctic Aviation Assets.
"We were supposed to receive another two A320neos before the summer, but have declined to accept them for a limited period, until these issues have been addressed," said HK Express CEO Andrew Cowen. "It is a difficult decision but we must not leave our passengers and staff [doubting] the reliability of the aircraft."
