“In particular, in 2023, Pratt & Whitney determined that a rare condition in powder metal used to manufacture certain engine parts requires accelerated inspection of the PW1100 GTF fleet, which powers the A320neo family of aircraft. This 19 Table of Contents determination and corresponding fleet actions have resulted in, and are expected to continue to result in, an elevated level of aircraft on ground for the A320neo family of aircraft and significant incremental shop visits necessary to perform inspections on PW1100 GTF engines through the end of 2026.”
