Vietjet Signs TotalCare Agreement for Rolls-Royce Trent 700 Engines

(25 July 2022, 10:28 +07)  Vietjet has signed a TotalCare service agreement with Rolls-Royce covering the Trent 700 engines that will power 10 Airbus A330ceo aircraft.

The US$400 million contract is the execution of a memorandum of understanding signed by the two companies in Edinburgh, Scotland last year.

TotalCare covers off-wing repair and overhaul and is designed to provide operational certainty for customers by transferring time on wing and maintenance cost risk back to Rolls-Royce.

Vietjet’s first A330 aircraft went into service in late 2021. Today, the airline has two A330s in its fleet with plans to grow its wide-body fleet to better serve its expanding international flight network.

Dinh Viet Phuong, Vietjet's Managing Director, said, “The Trent 700 engines supported by TotalCare will bring a technological breakthrough to Vietjet’s fleet, helping increase range and improve quality with the aircraft’s technical reliability and operational efficiency. We hope this partnership with Rolls-Royce will also boost international trade through connecting people around the world both conveniently and economically in the future.”

The Trent 700 has accumulated more than 65 million flying hours with a 99.9% dispatch rate and the longest time on wing of any A330 engine option. The engine also delivers the highest thrust available on the A330.

Ewen McDonald, Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace, Chief Customer Officer, said, “We are delighted to execute this service agreement with Vietjet as the airline begins operating widebody aircraft and expand its network into long-haul operations. We look forward to supporting their Trent 700 fleet for many years.”
