The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has grounded A320neo planes fitted specifically with PW1100 engines beyond ESN 450, following instances of engine failure mid-air. IndiGo, which operates eight such aircraft, and GoAir, which has three such aircraft, were instructed to not refit these engines. The DGCA said it will review the situation after the engines' manufacturer addressed the issue.
