Vietjet signs new order for 40 Trent 7000 engines with Rolls-Royce

On June 16, in Paris, France, Vietjet and Rolls-Royce officially signed an order for 40 more Trent 7000 engines to operate 20 Airbus A330neo wide-body aircraft. This order follows the contract signed at the 2024 Singapore Airshow, bringing the total number of Trent 7000 engines that Vietjet has ordered to 80. The order was announced by Airbus last May.

Vietjet and Rolls-Royce signed an order for 40 more Trent 7000 engines for the A330neo fleet.

In addition, Vietjet continues to choose the TotalCare®️ comprehensive engine maintenance service, which helps optimize operating efficiency and extend the engine's operating cycle.

Speaking about this important event, Mr. Rob Watson, President of Rolls-Royce Civil Aviation, emphasized: “Today’s commitment to order 40 additional Trent 7000 engines demonstrates the airline’s confidence in the combination of the Trent 7000 engine and the A330neo aircraft.

The extraordinary flexibility of this aircraft and engine combination allows airlines to serve a wide range of markets and optimise fleet adaptability. Our £1 billion investment in Trent engine uptime enables the Trent 7000 to be upgraded, in some cases, to triple the uptime. Vietjet is a key partner of Rolls-Royce in the Asia Pacific region, and we are proud to be with them on their journey to connect Vietnam to the world with leading technology solutions.”

Vietjet CEO Dinh Viet Phuong said: “We believe in Rolls-Royce as a strategic partner, accompanying Vietjet in its vision of developing a new generation wide-body fleet. Investing in 40 more Trent 7000 engines within just one year demonstrates Vietjet’s strong commitment to expanding its international operations, especially towards distant markets such as Europe, North Asia and North America. With Trent 7000 and TotalCare, we are moving closer to our goal of providing a global flight experience with superior quality, optimal costs and contributing to the sustainable development of the aviation industry.”

Developed specifically for the A330neo, the Trent 7000 is Rolls-Royce’s latest generation of advanced engines, incorporating significant improvements in fuel efficiency, noise and durability. To date, the engine has logged over 3 million flight hours with outstanding performance.

The signing ceremony between Vietjet and Rolls-Royce took place at the 2025 Paris Air Show.

TotalCare is a premium engine service designed by Rolls-Royce that links maintenance costs to operational time. This service package is supported by Rolls-Royce's advanced engine monitoring system, helping to increase operational readiness, reliability and operational efficiency for airlines.

Vietjet is operating more than 130 new generation, fuel-efficient aircraft and has ordered more than 400 aircraft. This fleet serves Vietjet's plan to expand its flight network throughout the Asia- Pacific region, and new long-haul routes to Europe and the US in the near future.
