Rolls-Royce welcomes Air Europa MoU for up to 40 aircraft powered by Trent engines

Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) welcomes the announcement by Air Europa that it intends to expand its widebody fleet with 40 Airbus A350-900 aircraft powered by Trent XWB-84 engines.

The announcement was made at this week’s Dubai Air Show.

Ewen McDonald, Chief Customer Officer, Civil Aerospace at Rolls-Royce, said:

Air Europa is already a valued customer, so it’s extremely exciting to deepen that relationship as we welcome them into the Trent XWB family.

“The continued popularity of the Airbus A350-900 powered by the Trent XWB-84 is important to us and we look forward to working with Air Europa as they embark on their fleet renewal.”

The Trent XWB-84 is the best widebody engine in the world. It’s designed, engineered, and optimised specifically for the Airbus A350 - delivering the lowest fuel consumption of any widebody engine and chosen by the world’s most profitable airlines.

Rolls-Royce is investing £1 billion across our modern Trent engines to increase their durability by an average of 80%, with a significant portion being delivered in 2025.
