Rolls-Royce feels the benefit of Iran orders
Posted 29 January 2016 · Add Comment
Rolls-Royce is feeling the benefit of the lifting of sanctions against Iran with a series of new orders for powerplant.
The company said today that it welcomed the decision by Iran Air to acquire 18 Airbus A330neo and 16 A350-1000 aircraft, which are powered exclusively by the Trent 7000 and Trent XWB engines respectively.
In addition, Rolls-Royce will provide engines for 27 A330ceo and 12 A380 aircraft that Iran Air is also to acquire.
Dominic Horwood, Rolls-Royce, Director, Customers & Services - Civil Aerospace, said: “We welcome this decision by Iran Air to select Rolls-Royce powered aircraft and, consistent with the improved regulatory environment that now exists, we look forward to supporting the modernisation of commercial aviation in Iran.”
The Trent 7000, the exclusive power plant for the Airbus A330neo, is the seventh member of the Trent family which has become the engine of choice in the wide body market over the last 20 years. The Trent 7000 is scheduled to enter service in 2017.
