A320 Neo engine meets all safety standards: P

NEW DELHI: A day after the aviation regulator restricted the Airbus A320 Neo aircraft powered by Pratt & Whitney (P&W) engines from flying to Port Blair, among other directives, P&W said it supports the order and emphasised that its engine meets all safety standards.

The aviation engine maker also described its meeting with the Civil Aviation Ministry and airlines on January 8 as productive.

“The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) directive mandates some specific actions for our operators whom Pratt & Whitney will fully support. The engine maintains 180 minute Extended Range Operations for aircraft powered by these engines, while providing fuel efficiency,” it said.
