[textarea]Rolls-Royce wins $1.8bn contract from Air China

Rolls-Royce has won two orders from Chinese airlines in two weeks

Rolls-Royce has won a $1.8bn (£1.1bn) order from Air China to supply and service 20 aircraft engines.

Earlier this month Rolls, hit by safety concerns after one of its engines exploded in mid-air, won a $1.2bn contract from China Eastern Airlines.

In the latest deal Rolls will supply engines for Airbus A350s and A330s.

The Chinese carrier expects to take delivery of the A330 planes from 2013 to 2015 and the A350 planes from 2018 to 2020.

Steve Miller, Rolls-Royce's civil aerospace vice president, said "we are very proud that Air China has again put their trust in us" with another contract.

The UK company has been battling to allay concerns about its Trent 900 engine, one of which exploded during a Qantas flight, forcing the Australian airline to ground its fleet of A380 jets.

Rolls-Royce says it has isolated the cause of the engine problem and is fixing the engines.

Almost two weeks ago Rolls-Royce, during a trade mission led by Prime Minister David Cameron, announced an order from fast-growing China Eastern Airlines.

Rolls-Royce wins Norwegian order worth $2.7 billion
Monday, 1 February 2016

Rolls-Royce has won a $2.7bn order from Norwegian for Trent 1000 engines and TotalCare® long-term service support for 19 new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

The order also includes TotalCare for Trent 1000 engines that will power 11 previously-announced leased Boeing 787s yet to enter service.

Rolls-Royce will provide TotalCare with a fully comprehensive Availability Service Solution for all 30 aircraft and this will now also cover eight Norwegian 787s already in service.

Bjorn Kjos, Norwegian, Chief Executive Officer, said: “This decision further develops our relationship with Rolls-Royce and we look forward to operating aircraft powered by the latest version of the Trent 1000, which sets new standards of performance.”

Eric Schulz, Rolls-Royce, President - Civil Aerospace, said: “This is another significant decision in favour of the Trent 1000, an engine that delivers exceptional economics and performance. We continue to innovate and develop new services and it is great to see Norwegian selecting Availability Service Solutions for their TotalCare as part of this deal.”

Availability Service Solutions cover technical and engine parts support that helps aircraft operators meet their schedules.

The airline also has options for 10 further aircraft which, if confirmed, will be powered by the Trent 1000.
