Indeed. When I was in VN earlier this year, I read somewhere that a huge proportion (1/3rd?) of the GTF-engined A321neos were out of service. Looks like the issue revolves arond 24 engine (12 a/c) with the faulty engines which will take up to 300 days to put back into service. Thankfully none of my 5 VN flights were disrupted.
