The company will also be looking at GE engines for later orders, Ghosh said. Its plane purchases from profit will likely reduce DIV, Ghosh added.

Ghosh said he is confident that the airline chose the right engine for A320 NEOs.

Recently the company rubbished reports that the airline was cancelling up to 85 flights a day due to engine issues. Although it did state the Pratt and Whitney engines on its new aircraft wear out sooner than they should and the company was working to resolve those issues.

“Pratt and Whitney is working to resolve these design issues on their Worldwide fleet of engines and we believe, that the final design changes will be implemented over the next twelve to eighteen months,” IndiGo said.
