Announced Dec 2023 - Turkish Airlines orders 220 Aircraft with RR engines. That’s just one of their customers! RR is Airbus only seller of the wide bodied engines. So the Airbus order book does have substantial benefits for RR. Airbus and Rolls-Royce have today announced they have been picked by Turkish Airlines to supply the carrier with 220 new aircraft.
The planes, a mix of A321 and A350 models, will be manufactured by Airbus for the most part in the UK, with the engines supplied by Rolls-Royce. The 70 A350 aircraft will be powered by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines, which are assembled and tested in Derby, and are 25 per cent more efficient than similar models.
