Monarch Airlines has agreed to buy Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines to power its new fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners in a deal worth $1 billion at list prices including a support agreement.
The Trent-powered 787 twinjets, scheduled for delivery from 2010, will form the core of Monarch’s long-haul operation, replacing some of the older aircraft it currently operates.
