Rolls Royce Trent seal deal

The International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) has agreed a contract valued at US$800m for Trent XWB engines to power 20 Airbus A350 aircraft. The deal makes ILFC the largest single customer for Rolls Royce Trent; their portfolio now comprises 61 Trent-powered widebody aircraft, with a further 70 on order.

The Trent XWB is the only powerplant currently available for the A350 XWB and will be the only engine fully optimised for the 250-375 seat aircraft family. It will utilise the latest available technology at entry into service to ensure lowest environmental impact.

Sir John Rose, Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce, said: "This is a significant order for the latest member of the Trent family from our biggest Trent customer. The Trent XWB will offer ILFC's customers outstanding levels of performance for the A350 XWB whilst minimising its environmental impact."

Delivery is due to begin in April 2014.
