Airbus In Discussions With Rolls-Royce For Next-Gen Narrowbody Engine, Says Executive; Airbus CEO Confirms Talks; Company May Offer Multiple Engine Options

Turkish Airlines&nbsp;is reportedly poised to ink a deal with&nbsp;Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYCEY#OTC">RYCEY</a>) (OTC: RYCEF and&nbsp;Airbus SE&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eadsy#OTC">EADSY</a>) for local aircraft component production, estimated at $20 billion, as part of a plane acquisition plan announced last year.
A potential deal announcement is expected at an Istanbul ceremony later this month, reported&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-17/airbus-rolls-royce-close-to-20-billion-turkish-airlines-parts-deal?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg</a>, citing Turkish officials familiar with the matter.
Turkish Airlines solidified the purchase of 230 aircraft from Airbus in December, with further options, aiming to bolster its Istanbul hub to compete with regional giants.
This procurement included a push for local production of airplane parts. Notably, Turkish entities, including state-run TUSAS Engine Industries Inc., are expected to participate in the manufacturing program, the report noted.
The accord for domestic aircraft component production aligns with Turkey&#8217;s ambition to advance its civilian and military aviation sector. This initiative is integral to the $70 billion Airbus order in 2023.
The report further noted that Turkey has been in ongoing discussions with international firms, like Rolls-Royce, to acquire engine technology for domestic military projects.
Ankara&#8217;s government emphasizes domestic production in foreign acquisitions, extending to defense and commercial aviation sectors, reflecting a broader industrial strategy.

Reddit Investors Eye Airbus Amid Boeing Turmoil: Opportunities In Aviation Stocks Explored

Airbus SE&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eadsf#OTC">EADSF</a>) won an additional&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2023-11-emirates-orders-15-more-airbus-a350-900s" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">order&nbsp;</a>for 15 A350-900s aircraft from Emirates Airlines at the Dubai Airshow. With this new order, Emirates Airlines&#39; total order is 65 aircraft.&nbsp;
The move came after Airbus&nbsp;reportedly faced a setback from Emirates at the Dubai Airshow, where the UAE-based airline reportedly ruled out an immediate contract to purchase Airbus A350-1000 jets on Tuesday, accusing a dispute with engine maker&nbsp;Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rycey#OTC">RYCEY</a>)(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rycef#OTC">RYCEF</a>) over the durability of its engines and leaving the European planemaker&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/11/35770679/emirates-reportedly-defers-airbus-a350-deal-citing-engine-durability-concerns-amid-boeing-triump" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">without a significant showcase order</a>.
The deal comes as a compromise after Emirates publicly criticized the performance and cost of Rolls-Royce engines for the A350-1000 related to the downtime needed in Gulf conditions, Reuters reported, citing Industry sources.
At the end of October, the A350 had won over 1,000 orders from leading carriers globally.
HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline and Group&nbsp;said, &quot;The A350-900s will add to our fleet mix and we are pleased to announce additional orders for this aircraft type. We plan to deploy our A350s to serve a range of new markets including long-haul missions of up to 15 hours flying time from Dubai. We will work closely with Airbus and Rolls-Royce to ensure our aircraft deliver the best possible operating efficiency and flying experience for our customers.&quot;

Tim Clark, president of Emirates, commented on the efficiency of the A350-1000&#39;s engine a day after announcing a $50 billion order for&nbsp;Boeing Company&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ba#NYSE">BA</a>) 777X jets, according to a news report by Reuters. Clark noted that the engine&#39;s maintenance interval &quot;falls short,&quot; providing only a quarter of the duration required by Emirates&#39; operational standards.

Clark told reporters that Emirates would order between 35 and 50 of the jets if Rolls-Royce improved the durability and maintenance costs.
Rolls-Royce told Reuters: &quot;Emirates is a valued customer and we look forward to supporting their future fleet growth plans.&quot;
Airbus Chief Commercial Officer Christian Scherer, however, supported Rolls-Royce&#39;s Trent XWB-97 engine.
&quot;It&#39;s a perfectly fine engine operated by many customers around the world.&quot; Scherer said while announcing an order from EGYPTAIR for ten new Airbus A350-900 aircraft at the Dubai Airshow, Reuters added.

The order has been received in the presence of EGYPTAIR&#39;s Chairman and CEO, Engineer Yehia Zakaria, and Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International, Christian Scherer.&nbsp;
The A350-900s will provide EGYPTAIR with 25% less fuel burn and, in turn, reduced emissions. At the same time, passengers enjoy the comfort of the Airbus AirSpace cabin, including a feeling of true spaciousness, wide seats, high ceilings, and alluring ambient lighting, according to a company release.
