GERMAN flag carrier lufthansa has announced that it would ground a third of its Airbus A220 fleet in Zurich because of Pratt & Whitney engine trouble, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
Earlier, Go First Airways informed the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) of India that all its flights would remain till May 9.
'Go First is facing a financial crunch due to non-supply of engines by US-based engine manufacturer Pratt and Whitney that has forced grounding more than 50 per cent of planes,' said an official.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has meanwhile examined Go First's response and issued an order to the carrier to process their refunds to passengers.
Go First and Indigo are two Indian carriers that depend on Pratt and Whitney engines, and reportedly both airlines have been facing problems.
