Singapore Airlines, one of the world's renowned carrier, said Friday it has selected the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine to power its nine additional A380s.
These A380s were ordered in 2006 for delivery between 2010 and 2011.
The order complements the first 10 Trent-900 powered A380s, of which deliveries have started.
Singapore Airlines became the first airline in the world to fly the A380 in October last year, and currently operates two of the aircraft, with the third due for delivery in March.
Under the terms of the aircraft order with Airbus, the carrier had a choice from among two makes of engines available for the aircraft, said the SIA in a statement.
SIA signed a letter of intent on Friday with Rolls-Royce to provide engines, spares and maintenance.
Rolls-Royce will be responsible for the provision of off-wing maintenance, repair and overhaul of engines, as well as spare engine support.
