US$9.2b A380 engine deal
DUBAI’S Emirates Airline yesterday awarded a record engine deal worth US$9.2 billion to Rolls-Royce.
The engines will power 50 Airbus A380s that were ordered at the Dubai Air Show in 2013 and will start entering service next year.
The deal — the biggest ever for Rolls-Royce, and one of the largest ever export orders for a UK-based company — was unveiled at a press conference in London by Emirates President Tim Clark.
“Rolls-Royce is a key partner for Emirates and we have been impressed with its commitment to continual improvements in the economic and operational performance of the Trent 900,” said Clark.
“These improvements have been decisive factors in our selection of the product for 50 of our A380s.
