IndiGo flight 6E563, an Airbus A320neo, suffered an engine stall (PW1127G) after departure from Kolkata. The aircraft returned for a safe landing 37 minutes after takeoff.
Probable Cause of the Incident
The incident was caused by failure of LPT 3rd stage blades in flight as the blade material lacked crack growth resistance and damage tolerance to withstand any impact from material that may have liberated upstream.
