What happened
On August 9, 2019, an Airbus A320-271N Neo, registration VT-IZT, was operating a flight from Hyderabad Airport, India, to Gorakhpur Airport, India. During the flight, the crew received an engine number two stall warning accompanied by high vibration levels. This was followed by a failure of the right engine, which is a Pratt & Whitney PW1127G-JM geared turbofan.
The crew shut down the engine and diverted the aircraft to Varanasi Airport, India. The aircraft landed at Varanasi without further incident. There were no injuries resulting from the event.
The investigation
An inspection of the engine conducted after landing confirmed that a failure occurred in a third-stage blade of the low-pressure turbine.
