Full Narrative
The government of India has notified the NTSB of an incident involving an Airbus A320 airplane that occurred on August 19, 2019. An IndiGo Air Airbus A320-271N Neo powered by two Pratt & Whitney PW1127G-JM geared turbofan engines experienced a No. 1 (left) engine failure which was preceded by an ENG#1 stall warning and high vibration during the takeoff roll from Guwahati Airport, Indian to Kolkata Airport, India. The takeoff was rejected and post event engine inspection confirmed a low pressure turbine 3rd stage blade failure.
