Rolls-Royce wins $2.2bn TotalCare® deal from Emirates
Monday, 14 February 2011 Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won a $2.2bn TotalCare® long term services contract from Emirates, covering Trent engines for 70 Airbus A350XWB aircraft. The agreement will bring the airline’s Rolls-Royce powered fleet of 128 aircraft, in service and on order, under TotalCare® arrangements.
Tim Clark, President - Emirates Airline, said: “Emirates’ 70 A350XWB aircraft on order will play an important role in our growth when they come online in the next few years. This TotalCare® contract with Rolls-Royce is an important step in ensuring our A350XWB engine life cycle costs are managed effectively and maintained to the highest standards. Already current users of TotalCare®, we look forward to maintaining this relationship with Rolls-Royce to drive additional operational improvements.”
Mark King, Rolls-Royce, President – Civil Aerospace, said: “We are delighted to sign this contract with Emirates, a valued customer with three Trent engine family members already in service. With this contract all of Emirates’ Rolls-Royce powered fleet are, or will be, supported by TotalCare® packages that add significant value and allow customers to optimise their operations.”
TotalCare® long term service agreements, in place on 90 per cent of all Trent engines, are designed to minimise customer financial risk and enhance operational performance and reliability, allowing operators to concentrate on their core business.
The new TotalCare® contract for Trent XWB engines comes two months after Rolls-Royce won a $1.2bn TotalCare® contract for Trent 700 engines powering 27 Airbus A330s and Trent 800 engines powering 21 Boeing 777s.

I'm travelling to the US in a couple of months from Perth and the only reason I'm going Qantas is the flight routing - when I go back to the UK it will be someone else. To me flying Qantas now means a knackered old plane [whom the engineers managed to keep going], dodgy RR engines [I never thought I'd see they day when I was worried about an RR sticker on the side] and the only thing holding it together is the chaps/chapesses at the pointy end who at least have bucketloads of time under their belt and have seen it all - that is until QF is dismembered and all routes replaced with JetStar and a crew who have just started shaving.
One more thing about the engines; I tell myself it's just a statistical abberation; it's a media beat-up; it's just bad luck - I have an Engineering Degree I can understand most of the technical issues - BUT......deep down you really start to suspect that something somewhere is very wrong.
Qantas as a brand is going down the gurgler very fast.

"TotalCare® long term service agreements, in place on 90 per cent of all Trent engines"
If the 90% figure is accurate it would be a bold decision by management to side with the 10%, particularly if the cost is substantially higher.

From the Sydney Morning Herald,
A Qantas aircraft carrying the South African rugby team to Sydney was forced to return to Johannesburg because of an overheating engine.
The pilot shut it down after it had experienced an increase in vibration and temperature.
The incident happened about an hour into the flight, with the Boeing 747 landing in Johannesburg two hours after the initial take-off.
"The aircraft has four engines and can safely fly on three engines," a Qantas spokesman said.
"There was no issue with safety and media reports that there was an explosion are incorrect."
The Springboks were meant to have landed in Sydney, aboard flight QF64, shortly after 2pm (AEST) on Saturday but they are now staying at a hotel in Johannesburg as Qantas decides whether to put them on a new aircraft.
"We are currently looking at options to get the aircraft back in the air as soon as possible," the spokesman said.
Springboks captain John Smit described the experience on social networking site Twitter.
"Wow, just had to do an emergency landing at OR Tambo," he tweeted. "We lost an engine after take-off but safely landed now!"
The world champion Springboks, who are due to play Australia in their opening match of the Tri Nations in Sydney on July 23, are unlikely to depart for Australia before Saturday, the South African Rugby Union said in a statement.
Qantas is a sponsor of the Australian rugby union team, the Wallabies.
