Alert

Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) today announces Vietjet Air, Asia’s pioneering new age carrier, has placed an order for an additional 40 Trent 7000 engines, that will power 20 Airbus A330neo aircraft. This follows an order made last year at Singapore Airshow for 40 Trent 7000 engines, taking the order total to 80. The aircraft order was announced by Airbus in May.

As part of the deal, VietJet Air continues to select Rolls-Royce’s comprehensive TotalCare service to cover the health and maintenance of the engines.

Today’s commitment for an additional 40 Trent 7000 engines demonstrates the airline’s confidence in the Trent 7000 and A330neo combination.

“The incredible versatility of this aircraft and engine combination allows customers to serve different markets and maximise the resilience of their fleet.

“Our £1bn investment in time on wing across the Trent family of engines has delivered an enhancement package for the Trent 7000 that has, in some case, tripled time on wing.

“Vietjet Air is a key partner for Rolls-Royce in the Asia-Pacific region, and we are proud to support their mission of connecting Vietnam with the world.”

The Trent 7000 is the latest addition to the Rolls-Royce Trent family of engines and exclusively powers the Airbus A330neo. The Trent 7000 has flown more than three million hours, delivering exceptional reliability, sustainable performance and proven versatility.

TotalCare is designed to provide operational certainty for customers by transferring time on wing and maintenance cost risk back to Rolls-Royce. This industry-leading premium service offering is supported by Rolls-Royce’s advanced engine health monitoring system, which helps provide customers with increased operational availability, reliability and efficiency.
