Thales' Ashish Saraf to now head Pratt & Whitney in India
Monday, 14 April 2025 Pratt & Whitney has appointed Ashish Saraf as its new VP & country head for India, succeeding his role at Thales. Saraf's appointment comes at a crucial time as PW faces ongoing engine issues with Airbus A320 aircraft, impacting airlines like IndiGo. He will spearhead strategic growth, engineering, supply chain, and digital transformation efforts in India.
An Air India incident was narrowly averted at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport on July 21, 2025, when flight AI 2744, an Airbus A320 from Kochi, veered off the runway during heavy rainfall. The Air India incident occurred at 9:27 AM, as the aircraft briefly entered a muddy area near the runway but returned to the tarmac without getting stuck. While all passengers and crew were safe, three tyres burst and possible engine damage was reported. The Air India incident prompted activation of emergency response teams, and operations have shifted to the secondary runway as minor damage was sustained on the primary strip.
