Rolls-Royce and South Korean airline T’way have signed a TotalCare® service agreement for Trent 700 engines that will power three Airbus A330 aircraft.
The agreement is the first time T’way has selected TotalCare – adding another new member to the global family of operators relying on this service. It also marks the first time Trent 700 engines have been operated by a South Korean airline, continuing to demonstrate the global reach of an engine that has now accrued more than 60 million flying hours worldwide.
TotalCare is more than just an engine maintenance plan, it is a service concept based upon predictability and reliability. The agreement will give T’way a secured cost of operating and maintaining their Trent 700 engines through a dollar-per-flying-hour payment mechanism.
