T’way, a South Korean airline, has signed a
TotalCare service agreement with Rolls-Royce for the Trent 700
engines that will power three Airbus A330 aircraft.
The agreement is not only the first time T’way has
selected TotalCare, but also marks the first time Trent 700
engines have been operated by a South Korean airline.

TotalCare gives T’way a secured cost of
operating and maintaining their Trent 700 engines through a
dollar-per-flying-hour payment mechanism. It will also deliver enhanced aircraft
availability thanks to Rolls-Royce’s in-depth engine knowledge
that draws on its advanced engine health monitoring.
Mr Kim Hyung-yi, T’way Air Vice President, said,
“Our A330s are the first widebodies in our fleet, and provide a
significant expansion in the levels of service we can provide our
passengers. We value this TotalCare agreement, which will maximise
aircraft availability and efficiency, allowing us to provide
outstanding customer service.”
The Trent 700 has established itself as the engine
of choice for the A330, with more than 60% market share for
combined passenger and freighter aircraft.
Chris Davie, Senior Vice President - Customers,
Rolls-Royce, said, “We warmly welcome T’way to our TotalCare
family of operators. They have bold plans for their A330 aircraft
and we are honoured to be supporting their entry into service
every step of the way with an incredible engine that continues to
provide value to new customers and new territories.”
