The order is for Trent 900 engines to power 12 Airbus A380 superjumbos, the first of which will be delivered in 2013, with a potential additional seven options, and Trent 1000 engines to power 24 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, with 18 options. The contracts include Rolls Royce TotalCare long-term support agreements.
