On April 30, Singapore Airlines signed a Total Care Services Agreement with Rolls-Royce to provide a comprehensive maintenance package for the Trent 800 engines on its fleet of 58 Trent-powered Boeing 777 aircraft.

This Agreement confirms the Letter of Intent with Rolls-Royce for Trent 800 Total Care Services, announced by Singapore Airlines on January 11, 2007.

Rolls-Royce will provide off-wing maintenance, repair and over-haul of engines, as well as spare engine support. The engines will be repaired and overhauled at Singapore Aero Engine Services Limited (SAESL) - a Joint Venture Company, owned by SIA Engineering Company Limited and Rolls-Royce.
