Rolls-Royce and Malaysia Airlines (MAS) have signed an engine support deal for the airline's Trent 800 engines.
The TotalCare service agreement will cover the engines installed on the carrier's fleet of 17 Boeing 777 aircraft.
"We are committed to improving our customer service while at the same time continuing our drive to manage costs more effectively. Our contract with Rolls-Royce provides us with greater ability to predict and manage our engine maintenance and overhaul costs," says MAS' CEO and managing director Azmil Zahruddin.
Jim Sheard, Rolls-Royce's senior vice-president airlines South-east Asia, says: "Our ability to evaluate Trent engine data from the worldwide fleet, and our ability to work with each customer to plan maintenance operations, will significantly help Malaysia Airlines to meet its operational and financial goals."
