Vietjet orders additional 40 Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines

(Vietjet, France, June 16, 2025) -  Vietjet has placed an order with Rolls-Royce for additional 40 Trent 7000 engines to power 20 Airbus A330neo aircraft. This follows an order made last year at Singapore Airshow for 40 Trent 7000 engines, taking the order total to 80. The aircraft order was announced by Airbus in May.

As part of the deal, Vietjet continues to select Rolls-Royce’s comprehensive TotalCare service to cover the health and maintenance of the engines.

Rob Watson, President - Civil Aerospace, Rolls-Royce, said: “Today’s commitment for an additional 40 Trent 7000 engines demonstrates the airline’s confidence in the Trent 7000 and A330neo combination. The incredible versatility of this aircraft and engine combination allows customers to serve different markets and maximise the resilience of their fleet. Our £1bn investment in time on wing across the Trent family of engines has delivered an enhancement package for the Trent 7000 that has, in some case, tripled time on wing.

“Vietjet Air is a key partner for Rolls-Royce in the Asia-Pacific region, and we are proud to support their mission of connecting Vietnam with the world through leading aerospace technology.”

Dinh Viet Phuong, CEO, Vietjet, said: “Rolls-Royce is a trusted partner in Vietjet’s long-term strategy to develop a next-generation widebody fleet. Our decision to expand the Trent 7000 order for 40 new engines within a year reflects our strong commitment to international network growth, with a focus on long-haul markets across Europe, North Asia, and North America.With the Trent 7000 and TotalCare at the core of our widebody operations, we are well-positioned to deliver a world-class travel experience with enhanced quality, cost efficiency and support the sustainability of the aviation industry.”

The Trent 7000 is the latest addition to the Rolls-Royce Trent family of engines and exclusively powers the Airbus A330neo. The Trent 7000 has flown more than three million hours, delivering exceptional reliability, sustainable performance and proven versatility.

TotalCare is designed to provide operational certainty for customers by transferring time on wing and maintenance cost risk back to Rolls-Royce. This industry-leading premium service offering is supported by Rolls-Royce advanced engine health monitoring system, which helps provide customers with increased operational availability, reliability and efficiency.

Vietjet currently operates a fleet of over 130 new-generation, fuel-efficient aircraft and has placed orders for more than 400 additional aircraft. This expanding fleet underpins the airline’s growing network across the Asia-Pacific region and supports its plans to launch long-haul routes to Europe and the Americas in the near future.
