TUI Travel Orders Rolls-Royce Trent 700 Engines

Rolls-Royce has won a contract from leisure travel company TUI Travel to provide Trent 700 engines to power two Airbus A330 aircraft which will also be covered by TotalCare long-term support services.

The aircraft will be operated by TUI’s subsidiary Corsairfly and the contract also includes TotalCare services for two additional A330s already in service with the airline.

Pascal de Izaguirre, Managing Director, Corsairfly said, “The Trent 700 has already proven itself on our existing A330-200s and this order is a sign of our continued confidence in Rolls-Royce product and services.”

The Trent 700 has been specifically designed for the Airbus A330. It incorporates technology from the later Trent 900 and Trent 1000 engines, which has improved its fuel efficiency by a further 1%.

More than 1,300 Trent 700 engines are now in service or on firm order.
