Several US-based airlines are reportedly working hard to avoid flight cancellations after Pratt & Whitney announced a massive recall of some 1,200 jet engines.
JetBlue, Spirit, and Hawaiian are among the companies that are shifting ground crew and changing flight schedules after last month’s announcement by P&W that it was removing the Geared Turbofan engines that were found to be tainted with microscopic contaminants in a metal piece of its core.
The contamination is said to pose a danger that could cause cracks in certain parts of the engine, according to the company. The GTF engine, which is said to be used by dozens of foreign and domestic airlines, is one of two that can be fitted to the Airbus A320neo, which is the top-selling aircraft in the world.
European carrier Wizz Air and India’s Go First are among the carriers that have had to ground aircraft as a result of the engine recall. JetBlue COO Joanna Geraghty, who helps run the country’s sixth largest domestic carrier, told investors earlier this month that the firm would look to lease engines in hopes of minimizing the damage.“We are trying to take whatever self-help measures are available. But as you know, the supply is pretty constrained.”
