Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR., ADR: RYCEY) has been selected by LATAM Airlines to power three Boeing 787 Dreamliners with Trent 1000 XE engines.

The Trent 1000 XE engines feature several upgrades following Rolls-Royce’s certified two-phase durability enhancement program. This includes a re-engineered high-pressure turbine (HPT) blade that increases cooling air flow by 40%, offering more than double the time-on-wing of its predecessor.

The combination of dramatically increased durability, significant investment in expanding maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capacity; as well as the engine’s reliability in operation, is already creating fleets among our customers that are free of aircraft on the ground (AOG), something which is industry-leading performance.
