India's IndiGo expects groundings in 'mid-30s' due to powder metal issue in Pratt engines

BENGALURU (Reuters) - IndiGo, India's top airline by market share, said on Tuesday it expects groundings in "mid-30s" in the fourth quarter due to a powder metal issue in Pratt & Whitney engines.

Last week, the budget carrier said close to 40 IndiGo planes were already grounded due to the issue.
