Thai Airways International Pcl (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAWNF#OTC">TAWNF</a>) has decided to switch from Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYCEY#OTC">RYCEY</a>) to General Electric Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) for its next-generation widebody engines, dealing a blow to the UK company&#8217;s efforts to enhance profitability.
What Happened: The Bangkok-based airline announced an order for 45 Boeing Co. aircraft equipped with engines manufactured by GE, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-14/boeing-wins-orders-for-at-least-45-aircraft-from-thai-airways?srnd=premium-asia">reported</a> on Wednesday. The order also includes an unspecified number of options. This decision comes after Rolls-Royce faced public criticism from Thai Airways&#8217; CEO over pricing concessions in November.
Rolls-Royce has been striving to improve profitability under CEO Tufan Erginbilgic, leading to a tougher stance with customers on new deals. This approach has led to some friction, and the Thai order marks the first public loss for Rolls-Royce due to this strategy.

The new aircraft, which will be added to Thai Airways&#8217; fleet between 2027 and 2033, will not affect the airline&#8217;s ongoing repayment plans under its debt rehabilitation process.
Why It Matters: This move is a significant setback for Rolls-Royce, which is facing challenges in boosting profitability. The company&#8217;s approach to renegotiating existing contracts and taking a tougher line with customers on new deals has been met with resistance, as seen in the case of Thai Airways. 
For GE, this deal with Thai Airways comes at a crucial time, with the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/01/36735756/general-electrics-soft-guidance-sparks-concerns-as-ge-aerospace-and-ge-vernova-spin-">GE Aerospace and GE Vernova Spin-Off</a> nearing. The company&#8217;s fourth-quarter fiscal 2023 revenues of $19.4 billion, an increase of 15% year-over-year, and adjusted revenue of $18.5 billion (+13% Y/Y organically), had sparked concerns. 
On the other hand, Boeing has received a much-needed boost with this order from Thai Airways. 
In December, Boeing was reported to be on the verge of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36152216/boeing-to-ink-a-landmark-deal-as-thai-airways-reportedly-favors-787-dreamliner-over-airbus-is-ai">securing an exclusive widebody jet deal</a> with Thai Airways, with an announcement expected within weeks.
This development is being seen as a significant win for Boeing, especially in the wake of the intense scrutiny it faced over its manufacturing controls following an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36927036/boeing-737-max-deliveries-may-be-delayed-due-to-newly-discovered-quality-defects-report">accident on an Alaska Airlines flight</a>. 
Boeing has been facing a series of setbacks, including newly discovered <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/36927036/boeing-737-max-deliveries-may-be-delayed-due-to-newly-discovered-quality-defects-report">quality defects in its 737 MAX airplanes</a>, which could potentially lead to delivery delays. These challenges have raised concerns about Boeing&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/01/36844635/boeings-path-forward-q4-earnings-could-shed-light-on-ai-integration-production-targets">production targets and AI integration</a>, making each new deal and order all the more crucial for the company&#8217;s recovery.
