Rolls-Royce has won an order from Delta Air Lines for Trent 7000 engines to power ten Airbus A330-900 aircraft. The order also includes Rolls-Royce’s TotalCare long-term service support.
The Trent 7000 is the latest member of the Rolls-Royce Trent engine family and the exclusive powerplant for the A330neo.
The announcement brings the total number of Delta Air Lines Trent 7000-powered A330neos to 35, following an order for 25 aircraft in 2014.
Gil West, Delta Sr. EVP and Chief Operating Officer, said: “Expanding our A330 order book not only ensures that Delta’s near-to-medium-term widebody needs are taken care of, but also drives our strategic, measured international growth for the benefit of our employees, customers and investors. The next-generation engine technology from Rolls-Royce which powers the A330neo provides compelling operating economics, superior fuel performance and the range and coverage for our transoceanic needs going forward.”
Chris Cholerton, Rolls-Royce, President – Civil Aerospace, said: “This is a great endorsement of the A330neo and Trent 7000 combination. We are seeing real momentum building in the marketplace and having Delta Air Lines select our engines twice gives us great confidence for the future.”
