Go First blamed Pratt & Whitney engines for the grounding of nearly half its fleet. In its bankruptcy filing, GoFirst stated that it was forced to take the step due to an ever-increasing number of failed engines supplied by Pratt & Whitney’s International Aero Engines, leaving GoFirst with 25 aircraft by May 1, 2023 ((approx. A320neo aircraft (equivalent to 50% of the fleet) were grounded. Pratt & Whitney’s percentage of grounded aircraft due to faulty engines has increased from 7% in December 2019 to 31% in December 2020 to 50% in December 2022.
