LONDON--Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC (RR.LN) said Monday it has won
an order for Trent 1000 engines, and TotalCare long-term service
support for 19 new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft from budget
carrier Norwegian Air Shuttle (NAS.OS), worth $2.7 billion.
Rolls-Royce said the order also includes TotalCare for Trent
1000 engines that will power 11 previously-announced leased Boeing
787s yet to enter service.
Rolls-Royce will provide TotalCare with a fully comprehensive
Availability Service Solution for all 30 aircraft and this will now
also cover eight Norwegian 787s already in service, it added.
The airline has options for 10 further aircraft which, if
confirmed, will be powered by the Trent 1000.
The order announced Monday will result in an increase in the
group's order book of $1.5 billion, Rolls-Royce said.
