AICAF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Power systems company Rolls-Royce has won an order for Trent 700 engines to power 20 Air China Airbus A330 aircraft.
The contract, worth $1.5 billion at list prices, includes long-term TotalCare service support. The aircraft, to be delivered from 2011, will reportedly take Air China's Rolls-Royce powered A330 fleet to a total of 43.
According to Rolls-Royce, the latest Air China engines are an enhanced performance version of the Trent 700 which improves engine fuel burn. As part of the contract, Trent 700 engines for Air China's existing fleet of A330s will be retrofitted with enhanced performance kits.
Phil Harris, senior vice president for customer business at Rolls-Royce, said: "We are delighted that Air China is again turning to Trent engine technology. It offers Air China many advantages, such as the ability to maximize capacity at hot and high altitude airports, minimize fuel costs and benefit from the Rolls-Royce TotalCare comprehensive long-term support package."
