AERCAP SELECTS ROLLS-ROYCE TRENT 700 FOR A330s
The Rolls-Royce Trent 700 has been selected by Dutch aircraft leasing company,
AerCap Holdings N.V., to power 10 firm Airbus A330s, with options for a further
three. Deliveries of the Trent-powered aircraft are due to begin in 2009.
AerCap has also established a framework agreement with Rolls-Royce under which
TotalCare services provision will be offered to all airline customers.
Klaus Heinemann, Chief Executive Officer of AerCap said: "The success of the
Trent 700 in the marketplace proves that it is a valuable addition to any A330
lease fleet. We are also confident in the TotalCare services offering that will
provide us, and our customers, with significant value throughout the operating
life of the engine."
Mark King, Chief Commercial Officer, Civil Aerospace for Rolls-Royce, added:
"The Trent 700 has the largest market share on the A330 and the continuous
improvement and incorporation of advanced Trent family technology will offer
increased benefits to customers, including the lowest fuel burn of any engine
on the A330. We're pleased to welcome AerCap as a new Trent customer and look
forward to working together in the future as their widebody fleet grows."
In the last three years, the Trent 700 has won more than 80 per cent of A330
engine competitions featuring aircraft leasing companies and it remains the
market-leading engine for the A330.
NOTE TO EDITORS:
1. The Trent 700 is the only engine on the A330 that has been specifically
designed for the aircraft, resulting in better performance, reliability and
maintenance costs. It is the market leader on the A330 with a 46 per cent
share of firm and option orders.
2. The Trent 700 was the first engine in the Trent family to enter service in
March 1995 and is the most powerful engine for the A330, with a maximum
in-service thrust of 72,000lb.
3. The Trent 700 is the most environmentally friendly engine on the A330. It
is the quietest and cleanest option, with the greatest margin to CAEP 4
legislation.
4. Rolls-Royce is working hard to improve the environmental impact of its
products. Each year Rolls-Royce, in collaboration with its partners,
invests around
£700 million on research and development, two thirds of which has the
objective of reducing the environmental impact of its products. This
technology investment is primarily aimed at reducing noise and emissions.
5. TotalCare agreements, tailored for individual customers, offer a range of
services extending to aspects of support such as provision of lease
engines, as well as repair and overhaul. Rolls-Royce takes full
responsibility for care of the engine fleet in return for payment by the
customer of an agreed dollar rate per flying hour.
6. AerCap Holdings N.V. is an integrated global aviation company with a market
presence in aircraft and engine leasing, trading and parts sales. The
Company provides aircraft management services, and performs aircraft and
engine maintenance, repair and overhaul services and aircraft disassemblies
through its certified repair stations.
