LONDON (ShareCast) - Rolls-Royce, announcing yet another contract at this year's Paris Air Show, said it will power AirAsia X aircraft in an order worth up to $1.8bn at list prices.
Trent XWB engines have been selected for 10
firm and five option Airbus A350 XWB aircraft ordered by AirAsia X.
In addition, the airline has ordered Trent 700EP (Enhanced Performance) engines for 10 A330 aircraft already on order. All engines ordered will include TotalCare long term service agreements.
"We are delighted AirAsia X has selected Trent power for its future growth plans, selecting Trent XWBs for the first time and showing continued commitment to the Trent 700, following selection of the engine for the initial order of 15 A330s two years ago," said Jim Sheard, Rolls-Royce Senior Vice President - Asia Pacific and Africa.
Earlier today, the group said it won a $190m (£115m) share in an order from United Arab Emirates airline Etihad for V2500 engines to power a total of 20 Airbus A320s.
