Rolls-Royce has received an order to provide its Trent 7000 engines to power two new Airbus A330neo aircraft of New Caledonian airline Aircalin.

The order also includes Rolls-Royce’s TotalCare engine support service featuring a parts availability option for Aircalin to guarantee the supply of Trent 7000 engine parts on-site and worldwide.
