Four Turkish Airlines Airbus A321neos are out of service at Istanbul Airport 

More than 100 Pratt & Whitney engine-powered Airbus A320neo, A321neo, A220, and Embraer E2 aircraft are now grounded globally owing to engine issues. The planes are being removed from service soon after they are put into service due to these problems.

Turkish Airlines currently has four A321neo aircraft with Pratt & Whitney engines grounded at Istanbul Airport. Turkish Airlines and Pratt & Whitney are in talks, but there are worries that the number of A321neos grounded may rise as a result of the engine issues.

The consequences of these engine problems highlight how crucial it is to guarantee the dependability and safety of aircraft parts. To stop similar situations from happening again, both manufacturers and airlines are recommended to prioritize strict quality control procedures. In order to regain the trust of both carriers and passengers, Pratt & Whitney in particular must tackle the root problems and offer feasible solutions.

The problem’s scope has grown to the point where it has put India-based Go First Airways in a difficult financial situation. The airline was forced to declare for bankruptcy since it was unable to continue operating with more than 24 planes parked on the ground.

Turkish Airlines’ decision to purchase an engine from the new A320neo family, either a Pratt Whitney or a more refined CFM engine, is not yet known.
