The Trent XWB-84 has been a highly reliable engine in our fleet, powering millions of journeys on Delta Air Lines aircraft. The improved fuel burn and class-leading durability of the Trent XWB-84 EP have been important factors in our decision to grow our long-haul network with the A350-900. The efficiency of the Trent 7000 - along with product improvements made by Rolls-Royce - offers a step  change in fuel efficiency versus prior aircraft generations. We are excited to serve more customers with this dependable and sustainable aircraft and engine combination.”

As versatile as it is reliable, the Trent XWB-84 has shown it is equally efficient at powering short-haul or long-haul flights, which makes it the ideal solution for airlines. The 1% fuel burn efficiency improvement on the Trent XWB-84 EP can bring $5m fuel savings annually for a fleet of 20 aircraft, as well as a commensurate CO2 emissions improvement without compromising the robust durability and reliability of the engine.

The Trent 7000 has flown more than four million hours, including one million at Delta Air Lines, delivering exceptional reliability, sustainable performance, and proven versatility. Enhanced by our latest product improvements and backed 100% by Rolls-Royce TotalCare, the Trent 7000 continues to be the engine of choice for airlines replacing aging Airbus A330 aircraft.

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 data delivered through the Rolls-Royce advanced engine health monitoring system, which helps provide customers with increased operational availability, reliability and efficiency.
