What the record shows
The re-engined A320 with a clean safety record since entering service in 2016. Early Pratt & Whitney GTF (PW1100G) engines suffered durability problems that caused inspections, diversions, and groundings, but no accidents. Inherits the proven A320 airframe and flight-control system.
Engine programme: PW1100G (GTF) powder-metal inspections (2023-2024) grounded aircraft for accelerated checks; managed under active ADs. LEAP-1A-powered aircraft unaffected.
