Rolls-Royce has won a $200m order from Turkish
Airlines for Trent 700 engines to power three Airbus A330
freighter aircraft. The contract includes a TotalCare long-term
service agreement.
The aircraft, which will be delivered between
2012-2014, are in addition to two Rolls-Royce powered A330
freighters previously ordered, one of which is now in service.
Turkish Airlines now has a total of 16 Rolls-Royce powered A330
passenger and freighter aircraft in service or on order to support
its growth strategy.
Nick Devall, Rolls-Royce Chief Commercial
Officer – Civil Aerospace, said, “The Trent 700 is the only engine
specifically designed for the A330 and delivers significant
payload benefits in operation. Following our flawless entry into
service last year, I look forward to our relationship continuing
to develop.”
The TotalCare long-term service agreements, in place
on 90% of Trent engines, are designed to minimise customer
financial risk and enhance operational performance and
reliability, allowing operators to concentrate on their core
business.
