Mexican airline Volaris reaches accord with P&W on GTF motor inspections

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexican airline Volaris said on Tuesday it had reached an agreement with Pratt & Whitney on compensation for each GTF motor pulled from its fleet for inspections.

The carrier said in a filing to Mexico’s main stock exchange the motor inspections – required due to a rare powder metal defect discovered in some of the engines – had reduced its capacity in November.
