Rolls-Royce has won an order from Air Lease Corporation, worth $160m at list prices, for Trent 1000 engines to power four Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. The order marks the first Trent 1000 selection by the US aircraft leasing company. The Trent 1000 was the first engine to power the 787 Dreamliner into service in October 2011 and has achieved more than 99.9% engine dispatch reliability. It is also the launch engine for the Boeing 787-9 and has been selected to power Singapore Airlines 787-10 aircraft, subject to Boeing confirmation of the programme.
