Rolls-Royce has won a contract from Asiana Airlines for Trent 900 engines to power six Airbus A380 aircraft. The order includes a TotalCare long-term service agreement.

The Trent 900 will offer us economic benefits and will be combined with TotalCare support that will maximise the reliability of our Airbus A380s.”
