All 14 Pratt & Whitney engine-powered Airbus A320 Neo planes of the two budget carriers -- IndiGo and GoAir -- which were grounded between February and March this year due to safety concerns are now back into operation, officials said. Of these 14 planes, 11 were of IndiGo and three of the Wadia group-promoted GoAir. None of the 11 A320 Neo planes fitted with P&W engines which were taken out of operation due to the engine glitches are now on ground. Earlier this month, government had informed Parliament that 11 of these 14 A320 Neo aircraft had started flying again after change of engine. Pratt & Whitney President Robert F Leduc had said last month that the grounded aircraft of IndiGo and GoAir will be back in operation by April-end.
