Rolls-Royce signs $2.2bn service contract with Emirates

ROLLS-ROYCE has won a $2.2bn long-term service contract to look after more of the engines for Emirates Airlines.

The ‘TotalCare’ contract covers Trent engines for 70 Airbus A350XWB aircraft, bringing a total of 128 Emirates aircraft  under TotalCare arrangements.
 
Civil aerospace president for Rolls-Royce, Mark King, said: “We are delighted to sign this contract with Emirates, a valued customer with three Trent engine family members already in service. With this contract all of Emirates’ Rolls-Royce powered fleet are, or will be, supported by TotalCare packages that add significant value and allow customers to optimise their operations.”

Emirates Airline president Tim Clark said: “Emirates’ 70 A350XWB aircraft on order will play an important role in our growth when they come online in the next few years. This TotalCare contract with Rolls-Royce is an important step in ensuring our A350XWB engine life cycle costs are managed effectively and maintained to the highest standards. Already current users of TotalCare, we look forward to maintaining this relationship with Rolls-Royce to drive additional operational improvements.”
 
TotalCare long term service agreements, in place on 90 per cent of all Trent engines, are designed to minimise customer financial risk and enhance operational performance and reliability, allowing operators to concentrate on their core business.
 
The new contract comes two months after Rolls-Royce won a $1.2bn TotalCare contract for Trent 700 engines powering 27 Airbus A330s and Trent 800 engines powering 21 Boeing 777s.
