Rolls-Royce says 'even more true' it wants to enter narrowbody market
LONDON, June 17 (Reuters) - Rolls-Royce (RR.L), opens new tab CEO Tufan Erginbilgic said on Tuesday it was "even more true" that the British jet engine maker would like to enter the narrowbody plane market, preferably through a partnership.
Speaking at the Paris Airshow, Erginbilgic said Rolls-Royce was talking to multiple potential partners, while adding it does not see a new narrowbody aircraft before 2035.
He said the opportunity in the narrowbody, or single-aisle, plane market could be the first use of the company's UltraFan technology, adding that it could invest another 3 billion pounds ($4.1 billion) in the UltraFan programme.
