Rolls-Royce has made a major contribution to the UK's growth agenda by securing orders worth more than $1bn during the recent Dubai Air Show.
The Trent 700, designed and built in Derby has the best performance, lowest emissions and least noise on the Airbus A330 aircraft and continues to win orders. As well as securing deals with Saudi Arabian Airlines and Garuda Indonesian Airlines, Rolls-Royce passed another important milestone this week, with the delivery of the 1,000th Trent 700 engine, to Cathay Pacific Airways.
The company also won an order to supply their V2500 engines to Thai Airways International. The deal includes a long-term engine maintenance agreement and is worth $75m to the Derby based company. Over 4,800 of the V2500 engines have already been sold with another 2,000 on order.
The Dubai Air Show also saw Rolls-Royce win an order from Oman Air for engines to power the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
The airline is the first in the Middle East to select the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engine, which last month powered the first 787 Dreamliner into service for ANA in Japan. This means that Rolls-Royce has been selected for eight of the last nine 787 Dreamliner engine competitions.
