Airbus, Boeing and Rolls-Royce engine push: Airbus seeks more Pratt power for 2027; Somon Air picks Trent 1000; Rolls-Royce fund
Airbus says it is pressing Pratt & Whitney for more engines for 2027 while expecting any shortfall to be met via CFM. Somon Air signed with Rolls-Royce for four Trent 1000 XE engines to power two Boeing 787s. Separately, Rolls-Royce awarded a £100m+ Bristol facility contract and advanced GCAP engine design reviews toward ground testing.
