EAD on some P&W NEOs - more P&W delays

EASA said aircraft with two affected engines can only operate three more cycles. It is also ordering extended-range, twin-engine operations (ETOPS) limitations. Airbus has issued an Alert Operators Transmission (AOT) providing instructions “to de-pair the affected engines and discontinue [ETOPS] for aircraft fitted with affected engines,” according to EASA.

Looks like IndiGo might be impacted and avherald reports that the Spirit 320 at KLAS (also the AC with the fume event at FLL) with engine vibrations was also equipped.

Let me ask, is there a problem in PW?
It is not only the PW1100G affected. The PW610F got a modification because of carbon eg not complete burning of fuel, or downgraded to FL300. The PW308 used in Gulfstream 200 and Hawker 4000 need SB because of part in compressor loosing coating, that possibly leads to high altitude engine stall.

Are you suggesting that there are never SBs or ADs relating to other manufacturers' engines?

Bloomberg is saying 11 of 113 Pratt 320neos have been grounded and that all of the affected engines (43 still in service) are from the most recent batch of engines delivered to AB. 69 engines replaced in the last 18 months by IndiGo.

Avweek is now saying AB has stopped accepting Pratt engines.
