EGYPTAIR ordered six 787-9 Dreamliners in 2017 on long-term lease from Dublin-based aircraft leasing firm AerCap.
“We are proud to be part of EGYPTAIR’s first flight using Sustainable Aviation Fuel, and to assist with smooth entry into service of all six of the airline’s new Boeing 787 Dreamliners,” said John Kelly, Senior Vice President, Customers – Middle East and Africa, Rolls-Royce. “EGYPTAIR is Egypt’s flagship airline and its selection of our Trent 1000 TEN engine is a huge endorsement for the Trent engine family and perfectly demonstrates The Power of Trent. We also look forward to enhancing the availability of these aircraft with our TotalCare service plan.”
Rolls-Royce has worked with EGYPTAIR for more than 70 years. Today’s delivery of Trent 1000 TEN powered aircraft with TotalCare further strengthens this relationship as Rolls-Royce now powers the majority of EGYPTAIR’s fleet.
