Airbus and Rolls-Royce boosted by latest A330neo order from Delta

22 October 2019 • In News
Airbus and Rolls-Royce boosted by latest A330neo order from Delta

Delta Air Lines says it will add another two Airbus A330-900neo aircraft to its fleet, powered by Rolls Royce’s Trent 7000 engines.

Trent 7000 engines are assembled and tested in Derby as well as Singapore, then shipped to the Airbus facility in Toulouse, France, to be fitted to the A330neo.

In July, Delta was the first US airline to operate the next generation A330-900neo, and these two additional aircraft will take Delta’s A330neo fleet to 37. All engines will be covered by Rolls-Royce TotalCare, its flagship maintenance service.

Airbus designs and produces the wings for the A330, as well as all other civil aircraft, at its two sites in the UK – employing 13,500 people.

Filton in South Gloucestershire is where the engineering and design work takes place along with some manufacturing, and the site in Broughton, Wales is where all wing assembly takes place, and other major wing component manufacturing.

Greg May, senior vice president – fleet and technical procurement, Delta Air Lines said: “We are pleased to be deepening our commitment to the Trent 7000 through our acquisition of another two A330-900neo aircraft. We have great confidence that this latest-generation Trent engine, backed by Rolls-Royce TotalCare and maintained by Delta TechOps professionals, will deliver best-in-class economics and reliability in the years to come.”

Luke Mallows, vice president – customers, Rolls-Royce said: “We’re proud to power these new, fuel-efficient aircraft with the Trent 7000, which features our most advanced technology to lower fuel burn, emissions and noise. We’ll maximise aircraft availability with our TotalCare service, which we now provide for all Rolls-Royce engines in Delta’s fleet. Our partnership with Delta and Delta TechOps continues to grow, and Delta’s decision to expand their fleet further is a great endorsement of the Trent 7000 and A330neo.”

Delta recently took delivery of its fourth A330neo, and has begun using the A330neo to fly from Seattle to Shanghai. It will use the aircraft for flights connecting Seattle with Seoul beginning 1st October and Tokyo-Narita beginning 27th October.
