India's aviation industry is currently grappling with a severe crisis caused by supply chain disturbances and engine malfunctions, primarily impacting Pratt & Whitney engines. This issue has led airlines to resort to leasing extra aircraft, which in turn has escalated costs and diminished overall operational efficiency. Major carriers like IndiGo and Go Airlines have borne the brunt of this situation, experiencing a significant number of grounded planes, thereby exerting pressure on capacity despite robust ticket prices and passenger load factors.
