Rolls wins £286m Trent engine order
Aero engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce has won a $470 million (£286m) order for its Trent engines to power seven aircraft from Turkish Airlines (Turk Hava Yollari). The contract includes long-term service support.
The order, for Trent 700EP (enhanced performance) engines (pictured) for Airbus A330 aircraft, is part of the Turkish flag carrier's strategy to expand its fleet and improve its economics, efficiency and environmental performance. Aircraft deliveries will start in 2010.
Rolls claims the Trent 700EP version of the engine continues to improve engine performance by a further 1.3 per cent - confirming its position as best for fuel burn and emissions as well as thrust and noise on the A330.
