A plane of Air China is seen at Hongqiao International Airport in Shanghai, China, March 16, 2010. Rolls-Royce Group PLC, the manufacturer of the plane engine that blew apart midair on a Qantas A380 this month, got some good news on Monday (November 22, 2010) with a $US1.8 billion ($1.83 billion) order from Air China, its second major Chinese order in weeks. The London-based company will supply Trent XWB engines for 10 of the Chinese carriers Airbus A350 XWB aircraft and Trent 700 engines for 10 Airbus A330 aircraft in a deal worth $US1.8 billion ($1.83 billion). The latest deal comes soon after a $US1.2 billion ($1.22 billion) order from China Eastern Airlines to supply Trent 700 engines 16 A330 jets, a deal that was announced in Beijing with great fanfare during a visit there by British Prime Minister David Cameron.
