Finnair and Rolls-Royce sign contract on A350 XWB engine services

Finnair, the first European airline to operate the Airbus A350 XWB aircraft, has awarded Rolls-Royce a long-term engine servicing agreement for the new aircraft type’s engines. Rolls-Royce’s Trent XWB engines are used exclusively for the Airbus A350 XWB. The agreement brings Finnair’s entire A350 XWB fleet under Rolls Royce’s TotalCare package. Finnair has firm orders for 19 A350 XWB aircraft, the first four of which are expected to arrive in the fleet in the second half of this year, with another seven in 2016 and 2017. The complete order will be fulfilled by 2023.
