ROLLS-ROYCE WINS $110M SHARE OF DUBAI AEROSPACE ENTERPRISE ORDER
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won a $110m share in an
order from DAE Capital, the aircraft leasing and financial business arm of
Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE), for V2500 engines.
The engines will power 20 Airbus A320 family aircraft, part of a 70-aircraft
order the leasing company announced in July 2008. Deliveries are scheduled to
begin in 2011.
The V2500 is produced by the International Aero Engines consortium (IAE) in
which Rolls-Royce is a senior shareholder. IAE's other partners are
Pratt & Whitney, the Japanese Aero Engines Corporation and MTU Aero Engines.
The 22,000 - 33,000lb thrust V2500 powers the Airbus A319, A320 and A321 family
of aircraft as well as the Airbus Corporate Jetliner. More than 5,500 V2500
engines are in service or on firm order worldwide.
Notes to Editors:
1. Rolls-Royce, a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use
on land, at sea and in the air, has established a strong position in global
markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy. In each of
these sectors Rolls-Royce offers value-added long-term service agreements
for customers and operators.
2. In 2008, Rolls-Royce and its partners invested £885 million on research and
development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the
environmental aspects of its products, in particular the reduction of
emissions.
