F-WNEO seems to be stranded at Al Ain. Interesting observation: Airbus did sent an A400M to Al Ain yesterday. That cannot be a coincidence. with the new engine inside....

For the moment, Airbus downplays the incident. A few excerps from the above article : Airbus found damage to one of the plane’s two engines last week after the end of the trial, a spokeswoman said. Airbus characterized the issue as minor.
"The company is confident it could work with Pratt Whitney to resume flight tests of the grounded plane soon", the spokeswoman said".
"Our target to start the A320neo delivery stream in 2015 remains unchanged", the spokeswoman said.
I hope Airbus is right ! Fingers crossed !

I think the above discussion about the P&W engine incident should be moved to the "A320neo flight tests" thread.
