Wizz Air Cancels Numerous Gatwick Flights Amid Ongoing Engine Inspections
Wizz Air has cancelled a significant number of flights to and from London Gatwick Airport, leaving many passengers stranded. The cancellations are a direct result of mandatory, accelerated inspections required for Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan (GTF) engines. These engines, which power some of the airline's Airbus aircraft, must be checked for a rare powder metal defect. This global issue is affecting numerous airlines, leading to widespread aircraft groundings and schedule disruptions. Wizz Air has apologized for the inconvenience and is working to re-accommodate affected customers.
