Blow to Rolls Royce as US rival gets Emirates order
Rolls Royce has lost out to US firm Engine Alliance in the fight to win a $1.5billion engine order from Dubai based airline Emirates.
Emirates has announced that Engine Alliance – a partnership between General Electric and Pratt and Whitney – will supply the engines for its fleet of 22 super jumbo A380 aircraft. The airline also has options on a further 10 of the aircraft.
Emirates chairman, Sheik Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said: “As Emirates grows to become a truly global airline, we need an engine to power our future A380 flagship over the world’s biggest air routes. After exceptionally exhaustive studies of the various engines on offer, we have selected the Engine Alliance GP7000 as the one best suited to our present and future network.”
In November the Middle East airline ordered 58 aircraft worth a total $15billion at Dubai’s International Airshow. The A380 order alone is worth a staggering $7 billion. The aircraft will be used on routes from Dubai to London, Frankfurt, Singapore and other cities in Europe, Asia, North America and the Pacific.
