With Air India's A350 order, Rolls-Royce makes a comeback in engine market

Currently, the Rolls-Royce-powered fleet of Indian airlines consists of five Embraer ERJs of Star Air and six Boeing 757s of Blue Dart

For the first time in 13 years, since Jet Airways’ A330 planes exited the airline’s fleet in around 2010, an Indian wide-body aircraft will have a Rolls-Royce-powered engine, with Air India ordering 40 Airbus A350 planes.
 

On Tuesday, Air India announced its mega aircraft order for 470 aircraft, including A350 planes.
 

The A350 aircraft, which will come in two variants, are powered solely by Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines and the local team has begun work to assist Air India with its aircraft-induction plans.
