What the record shows
Excellent safety record with zero fatal accidents. Engine reliability issues with the Pratt & Whitney PW1100G option have caused diversions but no safety events.
Engine programme: PW1100G (GTF) powder-metal inspections (2023-2024) grounded aircraft for accelerated checks; managed under active ADs. LEAP-1A-powered aircraft unaffected.
