Rolls-Royce optimistic on Emirates’ 787 engine order
Rolls-Royce has engaged in talks with Emirates to power its fleet of 40 Boeing 787-10s the carrier announced Sunday in a deal worth US$15.1b in list prices. “Emirates has not yet made an engine selection. We will be working closely with Emirates on that,” John Kelly, Rolls-Royce’s VP Customers for the Middle East, said Monday, adding that Rolls-Royce has “engaged” in talks already with the airline on that. Kelly, however, did not give any time frame for a decision to materialise. Asked if Rolls-Royce was hopeful of bagging the order, he said: “It’s completely in their [Emirates] hands.” The engine manufacturer has a current agreement to power 52 of the Emirates’ A380s besides 5 of the 777-200s, according to Kelly. “We have delivered 10 of the 52 A380s already,” he said. <br/>
