Rolls-Royce to Power Gulf Air in $1.5BN Order at Paris Air Show

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, will power new Gulf Air aircraft in an order worth US$1.5bn at list prices. Trent 700EP (Enhanced Performance) engines will power 20 Airbus A330 aircraft, with deliveries beginning in 2012. The contract includes a TotalCare long-term service agreement. In addition, Gulf Air also renewed TotalCare on Trent 700s that power 10 A330s already in service.

The Trent 700EP has the best performance, lowest emissions and lowest fuel burn on the A330. Rolls-Royce has secured more than 70% of the A330 market over the last three years and eight of the nine Middle East A330 operators have selected Trent 700 engines to power their fleets.
