Pratt's geared turbo fan is experiencing numerous technical issues. GE's LEAP engine not so much, but their engine is used by both Boeing and Airbus and they cannot keep up with demand.

And those Tier 1 suppliers are facing delivery delays from their Tier 2 suppliers. The problem is both deep and widespread.
