Indigo A320 at Mumbai on Jan 21st 2017, rejected takeoff due to engine failure

[aviatoraj320]

An Indigo Airbus A320-200, registration VT-ITF performing flight 6E-248 from Mumbai to Delhi (India), was accelerating for takeoff from Mumbai's runway 27 when the right hand engine (PW1127) emitted a loud bang and sparks prompting the crew to reject takeoff at low speed. The aircraft vacated the runway about 1000 meters/3300 feet down the runway and returned to the apron.

A replacement Airbus A320-200 registration VT-ITD reached Delhi with a delay of 2.5 hours.

Just curious to know what made the new Neo engine to fail just in 10 months!! Aircraft is quite new (delivered in Mar-16).

Can any one help?

Loud bang suggests engine stall. There could be many reasons for it. Too early say anything.

May be engine related, but not engine caused. Bird or FOD ingestion? Is this possible at BOM? :rolleyes:

Engine stall, a loud bang YES, flames YES, but sparks NO. :uhoh:

I got this picture from unknown source of engine. Can this explain anything?
