<p>Rolls-Royce has signed a £3.2 billion deal to supply British Airways with engines for up to 61 aircraft in the first sale of its Trent 900 engine since one exploded in mid-air on a Qantas flight last year.</p>
<p>The Derby-based manufacturing giant will provide the airline with Trent 900s for 12 Airbus A380 planes and Trent 1000 engines to power 24 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.</p>
<p>It comes as Rolls looks to allay safety fears about the Trent 900 after the explosion which forced the Australian carrier to ground its fleet of A380 superjumbos.</p>
<p>Rolls said after the incident it had isolated the cause of the failure to a specific component in the turbine of the engine, which sparked an oil fire and led to the release of another part &#8211; a turbine disc.</p>
<p>The deal, which was first announced in 2007, will see Rolls service the engines after they are fitted and includes the option to provide several more engines.</p>
<p>Rolls chief executive Sir John Rose said: &#8220;We are pleased that British Airways continues to put its trust in our world-class Trent engine technology and service provision.&#8221;</p>
<p>The manufacturer recently signed two contracts to supply engines to Chinese air carriers.</p>
<p>In November it won a $1.8 billion (£1.1 billion) order from Air China for engines to supply and service 20 engines for 10 Airbus A350s and 10 A330s, a fortnight after an order worth $1.2 billion (£750 million) from China Eastern Airlines.</p>
