Rolls-Royce demonstrates technology leadership at Dubai Air Show
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has secured orders worth more than $1bn during the Dubai Air Show, demonstrating the strength of its portfolio of advanced technology and access to growing global markets.
The Trent 700, which has the best performance, lowest emissions and least noise on the Airbus A330 aircraft, continued to win orders and passed another important milestone with delivery of the 1000th Trent 700 engine, to Cathay Pacific Airways.
Saudi Arabian Airlines ordered Trent 700s for up to eight A330s and Garuda Indonesian Airlines ordered Trent 700s to power four A330s, in addition to the six they ordered last year. All will be covered by TotalCareâ long term service support agreements. Rolls-Royce has now received orders for over 1,400 Trent 700 engines.
Rolls-Royce also won a share of an order from Thai Airways International for V2500 engines to power five purchased and six leased Airbus A320 series aircraft, reflecting the continued market leadership of the V2500 engine. More than 4,800 V2500s have been delivered, with nearly 2,000 on order and close to 200 customers around the world.
