IndiGo flight 6E329, an Airbus A320neo, suffered an engine stall (PW1127G) after departure from Delhi. The aircraft returned for a safe landing about 40 minutes after takeoff.
The aircraft resumed service about 40 hours after the occurrence.
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.
