Singapore Airlines has selected the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 to power a follow-on order for nine firm additional Airbus A380s. The contract also includes a TotalCare® long-term services agreement.
The airline previously selected the Trent 900 to power its initial fleet of 10 A380s, of which two have entered commercial service. These engines are also covered by a TotalCare agreement.
Sir John Rose, Chief Executive of Rolls-Royce, said: “Follow-on orders are a strong indicator of customer confidence in our products, services and our people. We’ve been working with Singapore Airlines for over a decade and have established a strong relationship based on mutual respect and understanding. This has grown into a valued partnership.”
In addition to the two A380s currently in service, Singapore Airlines currently operates a fleet of 63 Rolls-Royce powered aircraft, including five Airbus A340-500s, 58 Boeing 777s, powered by the Trent 500 and Trent 800 respectively. The airline has also selected the Trent 700 for its future fleet of Airbus A330s, due for delivery from 2009.
