Rolls-Royce secured a firm order to supply Trent 7000 engines for 18 Airbus A330-900 jets for SAS. The agreement may extend to 20 aircraft through additional purchase rights. The Trent 7000 serves as the exclusive powerplant for the A330neo fleet.
This deal represents the largest single investment in the history of the Scandinavian airline. SAS is utilizing the order to modernize its fleet and expand international operations following a financial restructuring.
The new aircraft and engines deliver approximately 25% better fuel efficiency than previous generation models. This order underscores growing market demand for Rolls-Royce’s latest generation of fuel-efficient propulsion systems.
