Rolls-Royce Wins $350m Contract from Hawaiian Airlines

Rolls-Royce has won a $350 million contract from Hawaiian Airlines to deliver Trent 700 engines to power five Airbus A330 aircraft. The order includes TotalCare long-term services support.

 The aircraft, to be delivered from 2013 to 2015, will add to the airline’s current fleet of five Trent 700-powered A330s and another 12 to be delivered.

Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian Airline’s President and CEO said, “This announcement marks another important milestone in the growth of our business and our long range fleet. The Rolls-Royce Trent 700 delivers high levels of operational performance and fuel-efficiency. It is the quietest engine for the Airbus A330 – an important consideration for Hawaiian Airlines.”

Mark King, Rolls-Royce, President – Civil Aerospace, added, “We are very pleased that Hawaiian Airlines has again chosen to place its trust in our world-class engine technology, which is underpinned by comprehensive TotalCare support. We look forward to continuing to develop our important relationship and helping Hawaiian Airlines maximise the benefits of Rolls-Royce technology.”

The Trent 700 incorporates technology from later generation Trent engines, which has further improved its fuel-efficiency by 1%.
