Negative,

3 engines are in use:

1) Engine Alliance (EA) GP7270 used by Emirates & Air France

2) Rolls-Royce Trent 970/B used by Singapore Airlines & Lufthansa

3) Rolls-Royce Trent 972/B used by Qantas

Korean has the EA on order and Malaysian the Trent 970.


The Trent 972 is a slightly powerfull version of the Trent 970
From post #217. So yes it does appear that QANTAS use a different model of the Trent 900. Maybe significant, maybe not.
