ROLLS-ROYCE WINS TRENT 700 ENGINE ORDER FROM GARUDA INDONESIA
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won an order from Garuda
Indonesia Airlines for Trent 700 engines to power 11 Airbus A330 aircraft. The
contract includes long-term TotalCare® service support.
The order confirms an announcement made by the airline in April of its
intention to purchase Rolls-Royce engines.
Emirsyah Satar, Chief Executive Officer, Garuda Indonesia Airlines, said: "We
have always been very impressed with the Trent 700's performance in technical and
economic terms. We look forward to further expanding our fleet with the support
of Rolls-Royce."
Nick Devall, Rolls-Royce, Chief Commercial Officer - Civil Aerospace, said: "We
are delighted that Garuda Indonesia Airlines, a valued customer, has again put
its trust in our industry-leading technology and support services as part of its
plans for continued growth. This order underscores the market-leading position
of the Trent 700."
The Trent 700, the only engine specifically designed for the A330, is the
market leader for the aircraft, with more than 1,400 in service or on order.
Garuda Indonesia Airlines will have 24 A330 aircraft powered by Rolls-Royce
Trent 700 engines by 2015.
