@@02hockeystick19 well believe or not airlines would have the expectancy that the problem will be fixed. The GTF advantages are pretty big and airlines won’t just order the LEAP because “it’ll never be fixed”. The problem is how long it’s taking to fix and it’s not common for airlines to order mixed engine fleets
This issue affects only previously delivered (2015-2021) and some of the aircraft, not the new ones. PW is 100% American company (CFM is 50%) and most of the affected airlines like Frontier, Spirit and Jetblue are also American. This has its own advantages. And PW accepts responsibility, pays compensation. So why not order new A320s with PW now when problem has been resolved?
Air Baltic cancelling many flights for the upcoming summer season. Yes, not Airbus's fault for acquiring an unproven, unreliable powerplant from a program still losing money on every aircraft delivered. Hey Airbus; I'd ask for my dollar 💵 back !!!!
I don't know why the airlines such as Wizz air is still choosing Pratt and Whitney engines to power their upcoming A320neo aircrafts instead of Leap CFM engines. Do Pratt and Whitney engines offer some more things than Leap CFM engines?
The P&W engines do, in fact, offer a couple of things that make them superior to the leap. For starters, they're a decent bit more fuel efficient than the Leap. As problematic as those geared turbofans are, they do significantly reduce fuel burn. The second big thing is the superior heat management system compared to the Leap. The PW engine can regulate its temperature extremely reliably to ensure the engine remains at peak performance regardless of whether it's extremely hot out, or extremely cold out, which makes the engine the superior choice for airlines that consistently operate in areas with poor flight conditions. Obviously the reliability issues make the benefits of the PW engine seem pointless, but if they can work the issues out then the PW engines may be simply the superior choice later down the line.
Wizz Air is rightfully complaining, because competitor and LCC market leaser Ryanair has its own 737 delivery issues and not having enough aircraft prevents them to gain easy market share. Vueling has some aircraft with affected PW engines. Obviously Easyjet having an A320 fleet with CFM engines is the winner here.
OUt of curiosity, are the A220 and the Embreay E2 also affected because they sue the same family GTDF engine? or are the flaws very particular to the variat done for the A320 ? If all GTF are involved how come we don,t hear horror stories about 220 and E2 jet operators?
The A220 and E2's are both having problems aswell, just not as much at the A320's. The big contributing factor is WHO is operating the 220's and E2's compared to the 320 neos. The A320 Neo is popular worldwide, primarily outside of North America. Many of these airlines are expirencing the engine issues. Many of the A220 and E2's biggest operators are North American. Some huge A220 operators in NA include: Delta Airlines, Air Canada, Jet Blue, and Breeze. As for the E2, while it isn't as popular as the A220, the largest operator of the E2 in the world is Porter airlines in Canada. Why is this important? Well Pratt and Whitney is an American company. It primarily operates in the US but also has a huge division dedicated to Canada. All these North American Airlines basically get special matinence and easy access to parts directly from Pratt and Whitney, so when an engine has problems, it's fixed within a few days rather than the longer times airlines in Europe or Asia expirence. Thus, the problems aren't reported. This means that you're just naturally going to see less A220 and E2 issues reported since so many of these aircraft reside in a continent that has easy access to the matinence require to get the aircraft airborne again.
Why is Wizz Air affected by this more so than their competitors? Did they elect to have their new NEO planes supplied with the P&W GTF's and the others don't have these engines? I thought the idea behind GTF technology was to get better fuel efficiency by slowing the fan down with the gearing.....maybe not such a great idea if the gearing is not reliable. Also, out of curiosity....is the assembly footage in this video from the Airbus Hamburg plant?
Air New Zealand have forked out over $40m for a new MRO Engine facility for the GTF to aid P&W in overhauling the engines. Air NZ have many grounded A320 and A321 due to this issue also along with grounded 78s with the RR Trent issue.
That's the tradeoff you get when being the first to receive new generation products. I do believe PW sort of saw this coming as they introduced a relatively new concept for turbofans on an airplane that flies many hours on a single day. However, no one could have ever expected how this has affected carriers globally. Where I live, Cebu Pacific has resorted to leasing A320ceo units as they have already retired their older A320ceo before the mass groundings of the GTF took place, They are expected to lease more aircraft as more GTF-powered ones are grounded in the coming months. Philippine Airlines meanwhile took this as an opportunity to also perform a cabin upgrade for their A321neos by fitting them with IFE displays on all classes while the aircraft are grounded. I think PW may have fixed the issue starting with 2023 units as airlines keep ordering the GTF in mass quantities.
Buy Airbus, their problem buy unreliable engined aircraft, their problem(air baltic) buy the better choice of 2 engine choices (looking at 787 and neos here), they win
I like your videos but you always seem to be in a hurry. What you are saying is interesting and important. I'd like to say, "take your time." But then people would hate me for interfering.
Bro, it's an aviation news channel, what should he be doing, hiding that news only because it's an airbus and not a boeing?! And btw it's P&W fault not Airbus
Ah the GTF, the gift that keeps on giving.
I don’t know why airlines keep ordering their NEOs with GTF when the alternative Leap has proven to be as reliable as it’s predecessor the CFM56…
Because the GTF provides many advantages over the LEAP. See Mentour Pilots recent video about it
@@tomstravels520that is when it actually works the way it should which is basically never

@@user-yt198and i just changed an engine on a 321 yesterday with a Pratt…brand new…instant throttle pushed past idle, surge. POS.
Probably should have titled the video Pratt and Whitney engines ground Airbus aircraft
Someone’s excited to throw shade on airbus
How bout we don’t through shade at anyone although I do get the joke 😂
Last year was boeings worst year now this year (hopefully not) will be airbus' bad year
How considerate, they are concerned the production line overheats.
it’s the engine not the plane
@@justing42 yea well when Boeing had problems with their engines for the 772 everyone blamed them, even though it was just the engine…..
This has nothing to do with Boeing airplanes right now. It is an issue for Airbus and Pratt engines powering their aircraft.
I'm sure many will still blame Boeing.
Just what I was going to say@@jeffssaunders
I would have thought P&W would have resolved this by now.
This is like plague. US companies are all about short term profits. Ruzzian and Chinese companies are corrupted beyond repair.
Airbus and PW...
A L.C.C 's path to success..
You already caused the demise of nearly 2 carriers.
Do we have 3 !!!😂
Air Baltic cancelling many flights for the upcoming summer season.
Yes, not Airbus's fault for acquiring an unproven, unreliable powerplant from a program still losing money on every aircraft delivered.
Hey Airbus;
I'd ask for my dollar 💵 back !!!!
For the Boeing haters, airbus have problems sometimes too
With American equipment...
* Airbus has problems because they are mentally disabled enough to order from one of the 2 horsemen of terrible jet engines.

@@Prodagist they are next , delta a220 are starting to be effected
Oh how the tables have turned
Most commentators are not explaining the problem clearly. Leaving the impression it is the gearbox. That's not true.
Needs a better explanation.
SOME Airbus BUT engine problem Pratt and Whitney

Engine lotery. When the plane has only one motorist, as the B777x it could be the end of it. RIP.😢
Is this channel a straight up Boeing fan boy? Because this is insignificant compared to the current Boeing debacle.
I’d say that it’s usually slanted toward Airbus. Don’t get me wrong, when I fly, I choose Airbus.
DJs a huge Boeing hater. I hope you and your fellow airbus clowns keep crying about RR and P&W engine troubles bc its funny af.
So the headline is not accurate. This was supposed to be going on for a total of three years when it was announced last year.
How does delivery of new bad planes help 🤔
Hmmm, with Boeing and Airbus not living up to expectations, I see the Chinese Cormac coming to roost.
Umm it's the engines, not Airbus itself. Pay attention.
Cormac is a Cornish civil engineering company, I can't see them slotting in here.
I would NEVER fly on a Chinese built aircraft same as I'd never drive or own a Chinese buolt car
Thanks Dj!!
Should have mentioned third class PW engines instead of Airbus.
Buy Airbus, their problem
buy unreliable engined aircraft, their problem(air baltic)
buy the better choice of 2 engine choices (looking at 787 and neos here), they win
How much is the need for these new specialized engines driven by efficiency requirements due to global warming hysteria?
I like your videos but you always seem to be in a hurry. What you are saying is interesting and important. I'd like to say, "take your time." But then people would hate me for interfering.
Pratt and Whitney having problems probably because of DEI hires
So Boeing and Airbus are both going under?
Rise of the comac 😂
Oh my God Airbus planes are being grounded and you are forced to report it LOL 😭😭

@leotx242he just lets Airbus live rent free in the head
@leotx242 News?!? more like dry goods repackaging
@leotx242Face it, if this were happening on Boeing models it'd be all THEIR fault.
So, you want to run an airline.
Feel lucky, punk?
P&W have lost their touch..the Greatest..engine for SR71..GE and Rolls Royce more reliable and state of the Art
I will never fly on a Boeing 737 max 10 with P+W engines
This type of engines is not an option to be selected with B737 MAX family. Only LEAP from CFM. So don't worry 🙃
What even are these comments haha
@JKB- fr, like people want to find any excuse just to avoid the max?!
NPC comment as always..
Then don't. Boeing will not miss you.
Surprise that PW is still in business!
I would not fly on an aircraft equipped with anything P&W. That would be a death wish.
Good for you
Why is that a death wish? Care to explain with something based in reality?
😂
So,all those 777 that i see with PW are actually a dream and they are all crashed?
