ITA Airways has taken 22 aircraft out of service after a Pratt & Whitney PW1000G engine recall, and expects about €150 million in losses, Corriere della Sera reports. The grounding trims short‑haul capacity and compounds industry disruptions tied to GTF reliability and spare‑engine shortages.

Briefing
ITA has grounded 22 aircraft and flagged roughly €150m in losses, a direct hit to capacity, revenues and slot commitments — a disruption comparable to other carriers that have grounded significant portions of their GTF fleets (see the industry‑wide A220 groundings).
The action intensifies demand on already strained MRO and spare‑engine supply chains, where operators have resorted to engine cannibalisation and warned of multi‑year serviceability impacts; the recall sits alongside carriers preparing legal and commercial responses to Pratt & Whitney problems.
