EgyptAir has ordered six additional Trent XWB-84 engines from Rolls-Royce. This latest order, which will power six Airbus A350-900 aircraft, brings EgyptAir’s total commitment to the Trent XWB-84 engine to 32 units.
As part of this strategic partnership, Rolls-Royce will provide comprehensive maintenance and health services for the engines through its renowned TotalCare service, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for EgyptAir’s operations.
Ewen McDonald, chief customer officer, Rolls-Royce, said: “We are delighted that EgyptAir has chosen to order six additional Airbus A350s and sign a long-term service agreement that will cover the fleet. We extend our gratitude to EgyptAir for their continued trust in us, and we are proud to continue our long-standing relationship. We look forward to supporting these new aircraft when they enter service later this year.”
Capt. Ahmed Adel, chairman EgyptAir, said: “We are proud to strengthen our long-standing partnership with Rolls-Royce through the signing of this TotalCare contract for our Trent XWB-84 fleet. This agreement not only highlights our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of operational excellence but also marks a significant milestone in our collaboration with Rolls-Royce, ensuring the future success of EgyptAir with the addition of this advanced engine type.”
The Trent XWB-84 is the best widebody engine in the world. It’s designed, engineered, and optimised specifically for the Airbus A350 – delivering the lowest fuel consumption of any widebody engine and chosen by the world’s most profitable airlines. The best gets even better with the introduction of the Trent XWB-84 EP, offering a further 1% fuel burn saving worth $5m a year for the average fleet.
Rolls-Royce is investing £1 billion across our modern Trent engines to increase their durability by an average of 80%, with a significant portion being delivered in 2025.
TotalCare is designed to provide operational certainty for customers by transferring time on wing and maintenance cost risk back to Rolls-Royce. This industry-leading premium service offering is supported by data delivered through the Rolls-Royce advanced engine health monitoring system, which helps provide customers with increased operational availability, reliability and efficiency.
