Rolls-Royce has secured a deal to service engines for Vietnamese airline VietJet as the budget carrier expands its flight network into long-haul operations.
The aerospace giant, which has UK bases in Bristol and Derby, will provide maintenance work for its Trent 700 engines which will power ten Airbus A330ceo aircraft.
Rolls-Royce, which is currently developing the world's largest jet engine, said its care package would provide operational certainty and boost availability of VietJet's first widebody aircraft.
