From AI:
The "GTF crisis" refers to the widespread engine issues with Pratt & Whitney's Geared Turbofan (GTF) engines, which power several Airbus models like the A320neo and A220. The crisis is caused by microscopic contaminants in the powdered metal used for engine parts, leading to accelerated wear and cracking and forcing airlines to ground hundreds of aircraft for inspections and repairs. This has disrupted airlines' operations and capacity, with some airlines grounding significant portions of their fleets. I believe the problem affects only the A220, not the 320. Needs to be fact-checked.
