ROLLS-ROYCE WINS $420 MILLION ORDER FROM HAWAIIAN AIRLINES
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, will provide Trent 700 engines
for six Hawaiian Airlines Airbus A330 aircraft, in a contract worth
$420 million at list prices. The order includes a TotalCare® long-term services
agreement.
Hawaiian Airlines already has ten Trent 700-powered A330s in service or on
order and today's order is incremental. The airline took delivery of its first
Trent 700-powered A330 in May 2010.
Chris Cyr, Rolls-Royce, Executive Vice President Customer Business - Americas,
said: "Hawaiian Airlines is a valued customer and we are pleased that they have
again put their trust in our leading edge technology and support services. This
contract underscores the market leading position of the Trent 700, the only
engine designed specifically for the A330."
Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian Airlines President and CEO said: "The Trent 700
delivers outstanding levels of performance and minimises our environmental
impact. We are delighted to be adding our new A330s to the TotalCare program,
having seen the strong benefits with our B717 fleet. We are pleased to continue
Hawaiian's long standing relationship with Rolls-Royce."
During 2010, Rolls-Royce has won 13 of the 14 potential A330 engine selections,
securing orders totaling over $5bn, to supply 73 aircraft.
There are now more than 1,300 Trent 700s in service or on firm order. The
engine offers outstanding levels of performance and delivers the best payload
capacity.
