Vietjet expands strategic partnerships with Rolls-Royce & Lufthansa Technik at 2024 Farnborough Airshow

Vietjet has chosen Trent 7000 by Rolls-Royce for its 14% improved fuel efficiency per seat and lower emissions. Also, Vietjet and Lufthansa Technik join hands to ensure airline’s operational excellence and highest maintenance standards.

Following its firm order of 20 A330neo widebodies, Vietjet and Rolls-Royce signed an agreement at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow for 40 Trent 7000 engines and the TotalCare engine service to power these A330neo aircraft.

The Trent 7000 is a cutting-edge, new-generation engine developed by Rolls-Royce with a focus on environmental protection and sustainability. Vietjet has chosen the A330neo/Trent 7000 combination for its 14% improved fuel efficiency per seat and significantly lower emissions. This reduction in emissions will allow the airline to avoid over one hundred thousand tons of CO2 over each aircraft’s lifetime. The agreement will also extend the airline’s existing TotalCare coverage for the Trent 700-powered A330ceo fleet.

Further highlighting its global strategic partnerships, Vietjet and Lufthansa Technik signed an exclusive Total Component Support (TCS) agreement. This signing ceremony marks a significant milestone in the long-standing partnership between the two companies. This comprehensive multi-year agreement, covering 184 Airbus A320 family aircraft and 9 Airbus A330 aircraft, will commence in October 2024. It includes extensive component services for Vietjet’s expanding fleet, ensuring the airline’s operational excellence and the highest maintenance standards. This agreement represents the largest TCS contract Lufthansa Technik has secured in the Southeast Asia region.
