Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) today announces it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding for a TotalCare service agreement with EGYPTAIR for 20 Rolls-Royce Trent XWB-84 engines that will power the airline’s fleet of Airbus A350-900.

The agreement provides the airline with predictability as well as a known cost for the services and maintenance of the fleet. 

TotalCare is designed to provide operational certainty for customers by transferring time on wing and maintenance cost risk back to Rolls-Royce. This industry-leading premium service offering is supported by data delivered through the Rolls-Royce advanced engine health monitoring system, which helps provide customers with increased operational availability, reliability and efficiency.

Ewen McDonald, Chief Customer Officer – Civil Aerospace, Rolls-Royce, said:

“We are delighted to sign the second TotalCare agreement this year with EGYPTAIR who are a long-standing customer of more than 20 years. TotalCare enables us to deliver one of our key commitments, to maximise engine availability and reliability for our customers.

Yehia Zakaria, Chairman, EGYPTAIR Holding, added:

“We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Rolls-Royce to support our A350-900 fleet, and growing our strong, mutually beneficial partnership.”

As versatile as it is reliable, the Trent XWB has already shown it is equally efficient at powering short-haul or long-haul flights, which makes it the ideal solution for passenger and freighter operators with a varied network. As the world’s most efficient large aero engine in service, the Trent XWB will also help fast track EGYPTAIR’s sustainability journey. With a 15 per cent fuel consumption advantage over the first generation of Trent engine, the Trent XWB goes further on less fuel, and offers leading performance and noise levels. It is also certified to operate on a 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blend today and has been proven to be compatible with 100% SAF for the future.
