Rolls-Royce received an order from Oman Air, worth $200m at list prices, to deliver Trent 700 engines to power three Airbus A330 aircraft. The order also includes long-term service support agreement.

Salim Al Kindy, chief technical officer, Oman Air, said: "Our evaluations found the Trent 700 to be the best solution for our fleet expansion. The engine will provide market-leading environmental performance, with low emissions, noise and fuel burn. Rolls-Royce TotalCare provides us with the ability to maximise aircraft availability and manage servicing cost."
 
Andrew Harper, Rolls-Royce, vice president customers - civil large engines, said: "Oman Air is an important Middle East customer and we are delighted it has once again shown its commitment to our products and services."
 
The Trent 700 engine is designed for the Airbus A330. Rolls-Royce has  more than 1,400 Trent 700 engines either in service or on order.
