Rolls-Royce ditched as Thai Air’s engine supplier in new jet deal


BANGKOK (Bloomberg): Thai Airways International Pcl has dropped Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc as its sole supplier of next-generation widebody engines, rejecting the UK company’s tougher stance on pricing.

Bangkok-based Thai Airways on Wednesday said it was ordering 45 Boeing Co. aircraft, with an unspecified number of options available, powered by turbines from General Electric Co. Thai Airways’ existing Airbus SE A350 planes and Boeing 787 jets use Rolls-Royce engines.
