Rolls-Royce welcomes Avolon order for 70 Trent 7000 engines

Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) today announces it has won an order for 70 Trent 7000 engines from Avolon to power 35 Airbus A330neo aircraft.

The Trent 7000 is the exclusive engine for the A330neo.

Ewen McDonald, Chief Customer Officer, Rolls-Royce, said:

We welcome Avolon’s continued trust and partnership in the Trent 7000 programme with its latest order of Airbus A330-900s. Avolon is an important customer and long-standing supporter of this aircraft/ engine combination, which forms a large part of its widebody fleet.”

Will Pitcher, Head of Powerplant Strategy & Asset Solutions, Avolon, said:

The A330neo remains one of the most capable and efficient widebody aircraft in the market today. Powered by the Trent 7000, it offers our airline customers a compelling combination of fuel efficiency, operational reliability and range. This order strengthens our ability to support customers' fleet renewal and growth plans over the coming decade."

The A330neo / Trent 7000 combination delivers a 14% better fuel burn per seat than the previous generation, whilst significantly lowering emissions.

With more than five million flying hours, the Trent 7000 draws on the technology and experience of the most advanced family of engines in the world. As the latest member of the Trent family, the Trent 7000 is based on Trent XWB technology and has delivered exceptional reliability since its entry into service.

The Trent 7000 is certified to operate on a 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blend today and has been proven to be compatible with up to 100% SAF for the future.
