India’s aviation sector is currently grappling with a severe crisis caused by supply chain disruptions and engine failures, notably impacting Pratt & Whitney engines. This has led to airlines like IndiGo and Go Airlines having to lease extra aircraft, resulting in higher costs and decreased efficiency. The situation has resulted in a significant number of grounded aircraft, putting a strain on capacity even amidst robust ticket pricing and passenger load factors. The challenges faced by the industry are further exacerbated by the ongoing economic uncertainties and travel restrictions due to the global pandemic. The need for immediate solutions and support from stakeholders is crucial to navigate through these turbulent times and ensure the sustainability of the aviation sector in India.
