Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) has placed a firm order for 18 Airbus A330-900 (A330neo) aircraft, powered by 40 Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines. This marks SAS’s first acquisition of the A330neo, supporting fleet modernization and long-haul network expansion from Copenhagen. The deal includes purchase rights for up to 10 additional aircraft, enabling future capacity growth on high-demand global routes. The Trent 7000 exclusively powers the A330neo, confirming Rolls-Royce’s dominance in this engine market. SAS CEO Anko van der Werff announced the order at a ceremony in Copenhagen on 30 June 2026. Delivery dates remain unspecified, with aircraft expected to enter service in the 2030s.
