LONDON (AP) - Rolls-Royce PLC, the world's second-largest aircraft engine maker, said Monday that it won orders worth a total of $6.32 billion, including a record $5.6 billion contract to supply engines to Qatar Airways.
The British company will supply Qatar Airways with engines for its new fleet of Airbus A350 aircraft with deliveries due to begin in 2013, Rolls-Royce said in a statement. The pact also provides for a long-term services contract for an undisclosed duration.
"This is an extremely significant order from one of the world's most forward-looking airlines," said Chief Executive John Rose.
