Turkish Airlines has selected Rolls-Royce to provide Trent 700 engines for its four newly ordered Airbus A330 freighter aircraft.

The deal worth $300m also includes TotalCare service support, which is said to minimise customer financial risk and improve operational performance and reliability.

Turkish Airlines currently operates Trent 700-powered 11 A330ceo passenger and five A330-200 freighter airliners.

Rolls-Royce civil large engines chief customer officer Dominic Horwood said: "This is further demonstration of the market’s continued demand for both the A330 and the Trent 700.

"Turkish Airlines currently operates Trent 700-powered 11 A330ceo passenger and five A330-200 freighter airliners."

"We are proud that Turkish Airlines has continued to demonstrate its confidence in the Trent 700’s ability to deliver outstanding economic performance."

Rolls-Royce said that Trent 700 offers enhanced fuel burn, emissions and noise performance, and was selected by 90% of A330 freighters in service and on order.
