Wizz Air Warns of Financial Hit as Pratt & Whitney Engine Problems Ground Aircraft
Wizz Air has announced a significant financial and operational impact due to mandatory inspections on its Pratt & Whitney GTF engines. The issue stems from a rare powder metal defect found in some engine components, requiring accelerated checks. As a result, the airline expects to ground a substantial number of its Airbus A320neo family aircraft. Wizz Air anticipates a 10% reduction in flight capacity for the second half of the financial year. The carrier is actively seeking financial compensation from Pratt & Whitney to mitigate the disruption.
