India’s Go Air has seen ups and downs. There have been the “on again, off again” bookings. Now, we have a lessor seeking parts that have been “robbed.” The airline can’t get moving after going under and blaming Pratt & Whitney and its GTF engine.
As we learned in Paris, the airline failed to pay P&W soon after the first deliveries. Given the pressure P&W faced, it makes sense that the engine OEM focused on assisting customers who paid for engines. The BBC has this take on what went wrong at the airline.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
