Its the airplane of the future. Its still grounded. - WSJ (No paywall)
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=62434&nl=daily] The
durability problems affecting jet engines have hit this aircraft hard,
forcing airlines to cancel flights and ground crews. RTX-owned Pratt &
Whitney has said that many of its PW1500G turbofans, which were
supposed to last 20,000 flight cycles, should be sent to the shop at
5,000. Some are being sent in before 600 cycles. According to August
estimates by analytics firm IBA, 15% of global A220s are grounded and
another 42% are of the age that suggest inspections have happened or
are due.
The A220 should be the pride and joy of the aerospace industry. It is
the only “clean-sheet" single-aisle plane built in recent
years—the A320 and Boeing 737 designs go back to 1986 and 1966,
respectively—and was a bold attempt by Canadian manufacturer
Bombardier to break the commercial-jet duopoly.
