This order follows the contract signed at the Singapore Airshow 2024, bringing the total number of Trent 7000 engines that Vietjet has ordered to 80. The order was announced by Airbus last May.
In addition, Vietjet continues to choose the TotalCare®️ comprehensive engine maintenance service, which helps optimize operating efficiency and extend the engine's operating cycle.
Commenting on the milestone, Rob Watson, President of Rolls-Royce Civil Aviation , said: “Today’s commitment to order an additional 40 Trent 7000 engines demonstrates the airline’s confidence in the combination of the Trent 7000 and the A330neo.
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 will enable the Trent 7000 to be upgraded, in some cases, to triple the uptime. Vietjet is a key Rolls-Royce partner 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.”
