LONDON (Alliance News) - Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC Friday confirmed it has won its largest ever order, worth USD9.2 billion, to provide engines and support services to Emirates.
Under the deal, it will provide Trent 900 engines and TotalCare service support to the company, with the engines to power 50 Airbus A380 aircraft due to enter service in 2016.
"The success of Emirates over the last thirty years has been extraordinary; this is in no small part thanks to the exceptional leadership of Sir Tim Clark. Rolls-Royce has been proud to have been part of this success, powering Emirates aircraft since 1996. We are delighted that Emirates has again placed its trust in our technology, with the biggest order in our history," said Chief Executive John Rishton.
Shares in Rolls-Royce were up 1.4% to 994.00 pence on Friday morning, one of the best performers in the FTSE 100.
