Modification to solve the #3 bearing issue is a software change and modification to the engine replacing an air pressure tube assembly. 902 was retrofitted over the weekend and the FL300 restriction was removed. The remaining aircraft 903/904 should be modified over the next few days.

Let's wait for any AAB statement. He must be the guy to clear the GTF.

Of the 52 PW engines on the 26 A-320 Neos in India so far, 38 — 73% — have been changed. That is a lot - but let's hope the problems are being contained and the exchanged ones are doing fine. Big burden for all the parties involved !  |
