ROLLS-ROYCE BOOKS $260 MILLION SHARE OF CHINA EASTERN ORDER
Rolls-Royce has won a $260 million share of an order from China Eastern
Airlines for V2500 engines to power 30 Airbus A320 series aircraft. The order
includes a long-term V2500Select aftermarket agreement.
The V2500 is produced by the International Aero Engines (IAE) consortium in
which Rolls-Royce is a senior shareholder.
The order extends IAE's links with China Eastern, which, for the past ten
years, has been operating MD-90 airliners powered exclusively by the V2500.
The 22,000-33,000lb thrust V2500 is available for A319, A320 and A321 aircraft
as well as the A319 Corporate Jet.
Rolls-Royce engines are in service with ten Chinese airlines, including those
based in Hong Kong and Macao.
