Indigo Expects Plane Grounding In Q4

IndiGo, the country's largest carrier by fleet and market share, finally has an estimated number of planes it will have to ground as a result of the powder metal issue on its Pratt & Whitney-powered fleet.

The airline expects the Aircraft on Ground (AOG) count to be in the range of mid-thirties due to the powder metal issue, which is incremental to the existing groundings, which are in the upper forties.

This could take the total grounded planes in IndiGo's fleet to more than 80 going ahead, during the January to March quarter (Q4-FY24).

In terms of size, this means that the airline will have as many planes grounded as Air India Express and Akasa Air put together. Currently, Air India Express (including erstwhile AirAsia India) has a fleet of 57 aircraft, while Akasa Air has a fleet of 20 planes.

Since induction in March 2016, Pratt & Whitney's GTF engine performance has troubled IndiGo, like many other airlines in the world. A delayed induction led by in-flight shutdowns and warnings leading to diversions had become a common occurrence, so much so that the regulator had to step in.

Interesting as it may seem, Pratt & Whitney had surpassed 800 orders and commitments for its GTF engine between January and June this year. The engine manufacturer had not informed airlines about the powder metal issue until then.

Indian airlines are known for their mischiefs and managing an airline business is not so easy. To know how has IndiGo managed to take-off in recent months then, check out Why Interglobe Aviation Ltd Share Price is Rising.

The company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose 5.7% to Rs 101.7 bn in the second quarter of this fiscal over Rs 96.2 bn in the year-ago period.

The EBITDA margin stood at 88.2% in the reporting quarter compared to 84.8% in the corresponding period in the previous fiscal.

The company's transmission business saw a marginal increase to Rs 109.9 bn in the second quarter of FY24 from Rs 109.2 bn during the same period last year.

Earnings from the telecom business rose to Rs 2.2 bn from Rs 2.1 bn. Revenue from consultancy services also increased to Rs 1.8 bn from Rs 1.4 bn.
