Emirates Airline to replace GE-Pratt & Whitney with Rolls-Royce as engine supplier | The National:



"Emirates Airline is expected to announce that it will take Rolls-Royce engines for up to 50 of its A380 aircraft, replacing the previous supplier GE-Pratt & Whitney, a source familiar with the matter told The National. 




Emirates will buy the Rolls-Royce-made Trent 900 to power the superjumbos it ordered from Airbus at the Dubai Airshow in November 2013, the source said. 




After the deal, Emirates will operate its A380 fleet, the world’s largest, with a mix of Trent 900s and GE-Pratt Whitney’s Engine Alliance GP7200s."
