The agreement is the execution of the memorandum of understanding that was signed in Edinburgh in 2021.
Rolls-Royce and VietJet, an international low-cost airline from Vietnam have signed a TotalCare service agreement for Rolls-Royce Trent 700 engines that will power 10 Airbus A330ceo aircraft. The agreement is the execution of the memorandum of understanding that was signed in Edinburgh last year and will provide the airline with predictability and reliability for the services and maintenance.
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.”
Being Rolls-Royce’s flagship service offering, the TotalCare agreement covers off-wing repair and overhaul of the aircraft and is designed to provide operational certainty for customers by transferring time on wing and maintenance cost risk back to Rolls-Royce. TotalCare will also deliver enhanced aircraft availability with the help of Rolls-Royce’s in-depth engine knowledge that draws on our advanced engine health monitoring.
VietJet Managing Director Dinh Viet Phuong 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.”
