DERBY aero engine-maker Rolls-Royce has secured a £1.6 billion order from Singapore Airlines.
The airline has selected the Derby company to provide Trent engines to power 20 Airbus A350-900s and five Airbus A380 aircraft.
Rolls-Royce, which has its civil aerospace division in Sinfin, will supply Trent XWB engines for the A350s and Trent 900 engines for the A380s.
The deal also includes a Total Care agreement, which will see Rolls-Royce maintain the engines throughout their service life.
