American operator Delta Air Lines has ordered an additional two Boeing 777s powered by Rolls-Royce's Trent 892 engines, it was announced at Farnborough yesterday.

The order is worth more than $50 million to Rolls-Royce and the aircraft will be delivered in 1999.

These two incremental aircraft increase Delta's firm orders for Boeing 777s to 14, in addition to the order announced in November 1997 for Trent 800 engines to power 10 firm aircraft, 20 options and 30 rolling options.
