Airbus and Pratt & Whitney: A220 PW1500G reliability issues set to fade by end-2025, largely resolved by late-2026

Airbus and Pratt & Whitney say the Airbus A220’s PW1500G geared turbofan reliability problems—already driving years of disruption—should be resolved by the end of 2025. They add that pressure on operators will ease further as the number of grounded A220s tied to the engine issue declines, with most expected to be resolved by late 2026.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • It sets a concrete operational timeline for the A220 PW1500G reliability issue, directly affecting how quickly remaining aircraft can return to service and how much follow-on disruption operators can plan around (see previous update on only 2–3% of grounded A220s still attributed to the issue).
  • The end-2025 and late-2026 milestones influence airline fleet planning, spare engine/parts strategies, and grounded-aircraft cost assumptions tied to the same root cause.
  • Because the PW1500G issue has had broader A320neo-family spillover, a sustained improvement trend is a signal for risk normalization across the A220 and related fleets.
