Rolls-Royce is strongly placed in the regional sector with new generation engines which enjoy exclusivity on two of the market's leading jetliners.

Having begun commercial flying in 1999, the BR715 is continuing its successful in-service experience on the 100-seat Boeing 717, of which a total of nearly 150 are in service currently. This engine shares common design and technologies with the BR710 as part of a 14,000 - 23,000lb. thrust family.

Meanwhile the 8,000lb. thrust class AE 3007 allied with the 37 - 50 seat Embraer regional jet (ERJ) series continues to prove an attractive choice for a growing customer base around the world. To date, over 900 AE 3007-powered ERJs have been delivered, accumulating more than 15 million engine hours.
