Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines power
the Airbus A350 XWB aircraft to the skies
Lufthansa has selected Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines worth
$1.5bn, including TotalCare® service support, to power 25 Airbus A350-900
aircraft. The airline also has options for a further 30 of the aircraft.
The Trent XWB, the world's most efficient engine flying
today, is the fastest-selling member of the Rolls-Royce Trent engine family,
with more than 1,400 ordered prior to its entry into service next year.
Nico Buchholz, Executive Vice President, Lufthansa Group
Fleet Management, said: "Having followed the development of the Trent XWB,
we have been impressed with the performance of the engine and are pleased it
will be powering our new fleet. The Trent XWB and Airbus A350 make a powerful
combination, enabling us to continue to deliver the highest levels of customer
service."
