India’s aviation industry is currently grappling with a severe crisis exacerbated by supply chain disruptions and engine failures, notably impacting Pratt & Whitney engines. This situation has forced airlines to resort to leasing extra aircraft, which is driving up costs and hampering operational efficiency. Key players like IndiGo and Go Airlines are bearing the brunt of the crisis, as a significant number of their aircraft remain grounded, putting a strain on capacity even as ticket prices and passenger load factors remain robust. The industry is facing unprecedented challenges that are testing its resilience and adaptability in the face of these unforeseen circumstances.
