IndiGo assessing Pratt & Whitney engine trouble,  posts record profit in June quarter

IndiGo on Wednesday reported its highest-ever quarterly profit of Rs 3,090.6 crore in the June quarter, as tailwinds of strong operational performance and favourable market conditions bolstered the financials of the country's largest airline

Despite reported its highest-ever quarterly profit of Rs 3,090.6 crore in the June quarter, IndiGo operator Interglobe Aviation on Wednesday said it was assessing the impact on its fleet due to troubled Pratt &amp; Whitney engines, and that it expects a fall in yield due to seasonal weakness in the second quarter. According to Reuters, Pratt's owner RTX said last week that some engines have to be removed from planes and inspected for micro cracks.
The impact for IndiGo in the initial phase will be a "net single digit number of engines," IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers said in an analyst call.
IndiGo posts record Rs 3,090.6 crore profit in June quarter IndiGo on Wednesday reported its highest-ever quarterly profit of Rs 3,090.6 crore in the June quarter, as tailwinds of strong operational performance and favourable market conditions bolstered the financials of the country's largest airline.
The carrier's parent, InterGlobe Aviation, also posted its highest-ever quarterly total income of Rs 17,160.9 crore in the first quarter of the current fiscal and also announced plans to set up a venture capital entity.
Besides, the airline said that "single-digit" number of planes are expected to be impacted in the first phase of inspection of engines by Pratt &amp; Whitney for certain anomalies.
IndiGo, which had 316 planes in its fleet at the end of June 2023, had registered a loss of Rs 1,064.3 crore in the 2022 June quarter.
In a release, the airline said in the latest June quarter, it had the highest-ever quarterly profit of Rs 3,090.6 crore and that "reflects strong operational performance, execution of our strategy and favourable market conditions".
Total income or revenues stood at Rs 13,018.8 crore in the three months ended June 2022.
"We produced strong operational performance and welcomed the highest number of quarterly passengers which enabled us to generate the highest ever quarterly revenue and net profit for the quarter ended June 2023," IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers said.
IndiGo has now raked in profit for three consecutive quarters after being hit by the Coronavirus pandemic.
During the June quarter, cash-strapped Go First stopped flying and other airlines, including IndiGo, made efforts to partly fill in the capacity gap.

IndiGo witnessed four tail strike incidents on A321 aircraft within a span of six months this year

DGCA imposes ₹30 lakh fine on IndiGo over for systemic deficiencies 

IndiGo witnessed four tail strike incidents on A321 aircraft within a span of six months this year

Aviation watchdog DGCA has imposed a Rs 30 lakh fine on IndiGo for certain systemic deficiencies with respect to documentation pertaining to operations, training and engineering procedures.
IndiGo witnessed four tail strike incidents on A321 aircraft within a span of six months this year, following which the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) carried out a special audit of the airline.
In a release, the regulator said that during the audit, it reviewed the airline's documentation and procedure on operations, training, engineering and FDM programme.
FDM refers to Flight Data Monitoring.
During the special audit, certain systemic deficiencies were observed in IndiGo's documentation pertaining to operations/training procedures and engineering procedures.
A show cause notice was issued to the airline and DGCA said the carrier's reply "was reviewed at various levels and was not found satisfactory".
"Subsequently, DGCA has imposed a financial penalty of Rs 30 lakh on IndiGo Airlines and also directed them to amend their documents and procedures in line with DGCA requirements and OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturer) guidelines," the release said.&nbsp;

The deal will surpass Air India's 470 aircraft order from March to become the largest order in aviation history

IndiGo to place a massive order of 500 Airbus aircraft for more than $50 billion

The deal will surpass Air India's 470 aircraft order from March to become the largest order in aviation history

The board of directors of IndiGo is most likely to approve an order for 500 Airbus A320 Neo family aircraft today. The order is more than $50 billion in value at list price, but the actual sum is probably much lower because such huge orders frequently receive significant discounts.
The deal will surpass Air India's 470-aircraft order from March to become the largest in aviation history. By 2030, IndiGo will have received 477 aircraft from the same A320 generation. With this purchase, the airline will be able to increase its fleet without interruption over the course of the next ten years.
With over 60% of the domestic market in India, IndiGo has taken advantage of the difficulties faced by competitors to start additional routes while utilising its expanding and sizable fleet.
Following a rapid rebound in air travel after Covid, airlines have ordered a slew of brand-new aircraft, packing Airbus and Boeing's order books.
The airline's expected procurement of 300 longer-range A321 Neo and A321 XLR aircraft demonstrates the company's desire to expand globally.&nbsp;
Currently, the airline connects 75 international city pairings with 26 foreign destinations. According to past comments from IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers, the airline intends to raise its international seat share from 23% in FY 23 to 30% in the next two years.

Days after a SpiceJet plane was forced to land in Pakistan's Karachi, an IndiGo flight had to be diverted to the same city.
IndiGo's Sharjah-to-Hyderabad flight was forced to make a precautionary landing in Karachi on 17 July after the pilot reported technical issues in the aircraft. IndiGo's Airbus plane had a system fault in Engine 2 on the right side of the fuselage, as per an NDTV report quoting sources.

Less than 2 weeks earlier, on 5 July, a SpiceJet flight flying from Delhi to Dubai had to make an emergency landing in Pakistan's Karachi. The plane had a malfunctioning fuel indicator.

A second air scare in one day hit Indian airlines on 17 July. Hours after an IndiGo plane suffered technical issues, an Air India Express flight had to be diverted after a burning smell was reported.
The burning smell reportedly came from a vent in the forward galley. The Calicut-to-Dubai flight was diverted to Muscat.

A plane's engine caught fire during take-off. In another flight, smoke filled the cabin while it was in the air. Even more cases of cracks in windshields, malfunctioning equipment, and radars not working. With 8 such cases in just 18 days, SpiceJet's bad streak has caused alarm among flight passengers.
The first case was reported on 19 June when a bird hit caused an engine fire in a Patna-to-Delhi flight. The plane had to do an emergency landing in Patna soon after take-off. On the same day, a Delhi-Jabalpur flight faced cabin pressurisation issues, and had to return.
Then, on 24 June, a fuselage door warning lit up in a Guwahati-Kolkata flight soon after take-off, and the journey was abandoned. The next day, the same issue occurred in a Patna-Guwahati flight, and the plane stopped midway in its take-off roll.
On 2 July, smoke was seen in a Delhi-Jabalpur flight while it was at an altitude of around 5,000 feet. The plane had to return to the national capital. Then, on 5 July, a Delhi-to-Dubai flight had to be diverted to Karachi in Pakistan due to a malfunctioning fuel indicator.
On the same day, a SpiceJet flight did an emergency landing in Mumbai due to cracks in its windshield at an altitude of 23,000 feet. Yet another incident took place on the same day, with a SpiceJet freighter aircraft headed to China returning to Kolkata as its weather radar was not working.
5 July was a scary day, with flights of other airlines also facing issues. A Vistara plane suffered engine failure after landing in Delhi from Bangkok. Also, an IndiGo Raipur-to-Indore flight had a problem of smoke in the cabin after landing.
India's aviation sector had seen a similar spate of incidents a few years ago. In 2018-19, engine failures plagued certain planes of IndiGo and GoAir. Airbus A320neo aircraft with Pratt & Whitney engines had faced technical difficulties. IndiGo reportedly saw over 20 instances of engine malfunctions over the course of a few months. In March 2018, India's civil aviation regulator DGCA had grounded over 10 such aircraft.
After the latest spate of incidents, the DGCA sent a show-cause notice to SpiceJet, saying that the airline failed to "establish safe, efficient, and reliable air services". Commenting on the notice, SpiceJet's CMD said that the incidents reported were minor in nature and not unique, but the airline will be "doubly careful".

Fifty-five per cent of IndiGo's domestic flights were delayed on Saturday as a significant number of cabin crew members took sick leave, with sources in the industry saying they ostensibly went for an Air India recruitment drive.
When asked about this matter, DGCA chief Arun Kumar told PTI on Sunday, "We are looking into this." The phase-2 of Air India's recruitment drive was conducted on Saturday and majority of IndiGo's cabin crew members who took sick leave went for it, the sources in the industry added.
IndiGo, India's largest airline, currently operates approximately 1,600 flights --domestic and international -- daily.  IndiGo did not respond to PTI's request for a statement on the matter.  According to the Ministry of Civil Aviation's website, 45.2 per cent of IndiGo's domestic flights operated on time on Saturday.
In comparison, the on-time performances of Air India, SpiceJet, Vistara, Go First and AirAsia India was 77.1 per cent, 80.4 per cent, 86.3 per cent, 88 per cent and 92.3 per cent, respectively, on Saturday.  The Tata Group took control of Air India on January 27, after successfully winning the bid for the airline on October 8 last year.
Air India has started a recruitment drive for fresh cabin crew members as it is planning to buy new planes and improve its services.
