Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won an order worth $210m, at list prices, from Fiji’s national carrier Air Pacific for Trent 700 engines to power three Airbus A330 aircraft. This is the first time Air Pacific has selected Rolls-Royce engines and the contract includes long-term TotalCare® service support.
Announcing the order today at the Singapore Airshow, Dave Pflieger, Managing Director & CEO, Air Pacific, said: “The A330s will be our first new widebody aircraft, so the Trent 700engines represent an exciting and significant investment in leading-edge operational technology and support service for the future of our business. These engines will provide high-quality environmental performance, with low emissions, noise and fuel burn – something our company and customers value. We look forward to a great partnership with a company known for its commitment to excellence.”
Bruce Blythe, Rolls-Royce, Senior Vice President – Civil Aerospace, said: “We are delighted Air Pacific is putting trust in our world leading technology and support services for such an important fleet replacement. We look forward to a long and mutually rewarding relationship with the airline.”
The Trent 700, the only engine specifically designed for the A330, is the market leader for the aircraft, with more than 1,400 either in service or on order. It has won more than 75 per cent of new orders over the last three years.
