Middle East Airlines to take up to six Airbus A330neos
Middle East Airlines (MEA) has announced plans to purchase four Airbus A330-900neos, with options on a further two. “As part of its widebody fleet renewal, the Lebanese carrier Middle East Airlines—Air Liban (MEA) has decided to purchase four new and two option Airbus A330-900neo powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines due to deliver in 2021,” the airline said. The announcement was made in London as MEA also signed a TotalCare engine maintenance agreement with UK-based Rolls-Royce, covering the A330-900neos’ Trent 7000 engines. “The contract covers long-term engine maintenance services, throughout the operation of the engine with MEA, the purchase of spare engines and supply of parts,” MEA said. MEA operates five Trent 700-powered Airbus A330s, which will be progressively replaced by the A330-900neos. The airline also has 13 A320s, with 11 A321-200neos on order.<br/>
