Rolls-Royce wins Trent order from Qatar Airways
Rolls-Royce has won a $300 million order from Qatar Airways for Trent 700 engines, with long-term TotalCare support, to power five Airbus A330 freighter aircraft.
The order for five Airbus A330 Freighters and eight options was announced by the airline on the first day of the Dubai Air Show.
Qatar Airways chief executive officer Akbar Al Baker said: “We are pleased to select the Trent 700 engine, which has provided excellent performance on our existing Airbus A330 Freighter, along with a support package that maximises aircraft reliability and efficiency.”
Eric Schulz, Rolls-Royce president of Civil Large Engines, said: “We look forward to further developing our relationship with a valued customer and welcome Qatar Airways’ continued confidence in our Trent technology and TotalCare service and support.”
The Trent 700, the only engine specifically designed for the A330, is the market leader on the aircraft with a 70 per cent of new orders over the last four years.
It is also the most popular Rolls-Royce engine type currently in service on wide-body aircraft, powering more than 530 A330 aircraft with 58 operators. More than 1,400 engines are either in service or on order.
Rolls-Royce is a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, and has established a strong position in global markets — civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy. As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce has a broad customer base comprising more than 300 airlines and several other entities.
