Rolls-Royce has notched another sale of its Trent XWB engine for the Airbus A350XWB, this time to International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC).

The $800 million order, for engines to power 20 aircraft, brings firm sales of the 74,000lb – 92,000lb thrust Trent XWB to engines for 192 aircraft. More orders appear likely to come at the air show as a result of Airbus’ expected announcement of further sales of the A350XWB, for which Rolls-Royce remains the exclusive engine supplier.
