Rolls-Royce is delighted to welcome Air Algérie’s decision to introduce seven Rolls-Royce-powered Airbus wide-body aircraft to their growing fleet.
Air Algérie has signed agreements with Airbus to take five A330-900s and two A350-1000s powered by the Trent 7000 and Trent XWB-97s as part of the airline's bold expansion and growth strategy.
The Airbus A330-900 is exclusively powered by the Trent 7000, the latest addition to the Rolls-Royce Trent family of engines.

The Airbus A350 is also exclusively powered by Rolls-Royce; the Trent XWB is the world’s most efficient large aero engine in service and its performance to date is unprecedented.
The Trent 7000 and Trent XWB-97 will support Air Algérie’s ambitious growth plans by providing availability, reliability and efficiency to its fleet as the airline takes longer-range routes. Both types of engines go further on less fuel and offer leading performance and noise level reductions. They can also operate on a 50 per cent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blend.
Ewen McDonald, Chief Customer Officer, Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace, said:
“We warmly welcome Air Algérie into our family of Trent operators and congratulate them on their choice of Trent 7000 and Trent XWB-97-powered Airbus aircraft. We look forward to growing our relationship with Air Algérie and supporting their regional and transatlantic ambitions.”
