AERO-engines manufacturer Rolls-Royce has landed a contract with Cathay Pacific worth more than £370m.

The company will maintain the Trent 700 engines which power Cathay Pacific's 20-strong fleet of Airbus A330 planes.

The total care agreement is worth £370.6m to Rolls-Royce.

Mike Terrett, president of civil aerospace, said: "Demand for our total care services continues to grow as customers experience the practical benefits, such as predictable maintenance costs. Over 40 per cent of all Trent engines in service are covered by total care packages."

The deal is the latest big contract win by Rolls-Royce, coming just two months after it secured a £1.4bn agreement with Gulfstream Aerospace to supply up to 600 upgraded BR710 engines.
