As part of the deal, Vietjet has selected Rolls-Royce’s comprehensive TotalCare service to cover the health and maintenance of the engines.

Rob Watson, president of Civil Aerospace at Rolls-Royce, said, “Today’s commitment for an additional 40 Trent 7000 engines demonstrates the airline’s confidence in the Trent 7000 and A330neo combination. The incredible versatility of this aircraft and engine combination allows customers to access different markets and maximise the resilience of their fleet.”

“Our £1 billion ($1.35 billion) investment across the Trent family of engines has delivered an enhancement package for the Trent 7000 that has, in some case, tripled time on wing. Vietjet Air is a key partner for Rolls-Royce in the Asia-Pacific region, and we are proud to support their mission of connecting Vietnam with the world through leading aerospace technology,” he added.

Dinh Viet Phuong, CEO of Vietjet, said, Rolls-Royce is a trusted partner in Vietjet’s long-term strategy to develop a next-generation widebody fleet. Our decision to expand the Trent 7000 order by 40 new engines within a year reflects our strong commitment to international network growth, with a focus on long-haul markets across Europe, North Asia, and North America.”

“With the Trent 7000 and TotalCare at the core of our widebody operations, we are well-positioned to deliver a world-class travel experience with enhanced quality and cost efficiency, and support the sustainability of the aviation industry,” he noted.

The Trent 7000 is the latest addition to the Rolls-Royce Trent family of engines and exclusively powers the Airbus A330neo. The Trent 7000 has flown more than three million hours, delivering exceptional reliability, sustainable performance, and proven versatility.

TotalCare is designed to provide operational certainty for customers by transferring time on wing and maintenance cost risk back to Rolls-Royce. This industry-leading premium service is supported by Rolls-Royce advanced engine health monitoring system, which helps provide customers with increased operational availability, reliability, and efficiency.

Vietjet currently operates a fleet of over 130 new-generation, fuel-efficient aircraft and has placed orders for more than 400 additional planes. This expanding fleet underpins the airline’s growing network across the Asia-Pacific region and supports its plans to launch long-haul routes to Europe and the Americas in the near future.
