New Delhi, Jan 9 (IANS): The Central government held a meeting with -- IndiGo, engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney (P&W) and aircraft maker Airbus and GoAir -- on Tuesday to review safety-related incidents with Airbus A320 Neo aircraft, powered by P&W.

The government took serious note of the incidents with the aircraft's engines and called the meet to review the issue.

On last Thursday, budget airline IndiGo's Kolkata-bound flight had to return to Chennai, and the airline said that it was the result of "technical caution" noted by the crew.

"The crew followed the normal operating procedures and asked for a priority landing. There was no engine shutdown and no emergency landing was declared," the airline said in a statement last Saturday.
