The Norwegian airline will upgrade the engines on all of its 21 Dreamliner aircraft used on long-haul flights. It reports E24.no.

"The exchange is done according to a clear and prepared plan for motor change, where the costs are covered by agreements with suppliers," says Communications Manager Lasse Sandaker-Nielsen to Finansavisen.

The thirteen Boeing 787-9 engines are upgraded to a newer version, Trent TEN. At the same time, additional eight 787-8 upgraded engines, but not Trent TEN.

Suppliers of the engines are Rolls-Royce who are now able to take the upgrade note after problems with the turbine blades.
