SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Hong Kong Express expects deliveries of new Airbus SE A320neo jets to be delayed by six months due to issues with engines made by Pratt & Whitney, a source with knowledge of the situation said on Thursday.

The budget airline has grounded one affected A320neo until May due to a lack of spare engines, said the source, who was not authorised to speak publicly about the matter.
