Rolls-Royce has marked the delivery of EgyptAir’s first Airbus A350-900, powered exclusively by Trent XWB-84 engines, as the national carrier advances its long-haul fleet modernisation programme. The aircraft is the first of 16 A350-900s ordered by EgyptAir and is set to play a central role in expanding the airline’s international network and boosting long-haul capacity. Omar Al Adib, Senior Vice President – Civil Aerospace at Rolls-Royce, said the delivery builds on a long-standing partnership between the two companies. “Our relationship with EgyptAir spans more than five decades, during which we have supported the airline through successive generations of aircraft and engine technology,” he said. With the entry into service of the A350-900, EgyptAir continues to build a Rolls-Royce-powered widebody fleet, which already includes 11 Airbus A330ceo aircraft powered by Trent 700 engines and eight Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners powered by Trent 1000 engines.
