Following its firm order of 20 A330neo widebodies, Vietjet and Rolls-Royce signed an agreement for 40 Trent 7000 engines and the TotalCare engine service to power these A330neo aircraft. Vietjet has committed to the A330neo/Trent 7000 combination as it delivers a 14% better fuel burn per seat, whilst significantly lowering emissions. The reduction in emissions will allow the airline to avoid more than 100,000 tons of CO2 over the lifetime of each aircraft.
TotalCare is a premium service, supported by data delivered through the Rolls-Royce advanced engine health monitoring system, which helps provide customers with increased operational availability, reliability, and efficiency. The agreement will also complement the airline’s existing TotalCare coverage of Trent 700 powered A330ceo fleet.
Rob Watson, President, Rolls-Royce – Civil Aerospace, said: “We are delighted to execute this service agreement with Vietjet Air, as they expand their operation responsibly and sustainably over the coming years. We look forward to supporting their Trent 7000 fleet for many years under our TotalCare service.”
Dinh Viet Phuong, Vietjet Chief Executive Officer, said: “The combination of modern Trent 7000 engines on the newest generation of Airbus A330neo, supported by premium service TotalCare, will help Vietjet Air reach new technological heights, significantly enhance the quality of our flights, and increase the reliability and efficiency of our operations. Specifically, the addition of the newest generation, high-efficiency Rolls-Royce engines aligns with Vietjet’s sustainable development strategy, with its ESG goals to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.”
Vietjet is expanding its flight network to numerous international destinations, serving passengers throughout Vietnam, Australia, India, China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, and many more intercontinental destinations.
