Emirates and Rolls-Royce have signed a TotalCare long term services contract valued a $2.2 billion (Dh8 billion), covering Trent engines for 70 Airbus A350XWB aircraft.

This contract brings the airline’s entire Rolls-Royce powered fleet of 128 aircraft under TotalCare arrangements.

“Emirates’ 70 A350 aircraft on order will play an important role in our growth when they come online in the next few years. This TotalCare contract with Rolls-Royce is an important step in ensuring our A350 XWB engine’s life cycle cost is managed effectively and maintained at the highest standards. Already current users of TotalCare, we look forward to maintaining this relationship with Rolls-Royce to drive additional operational improvements,” said Tim Clark, President Emirates Airline.
