The UK aircraft engine manufacturer is starting to live up to its distinguished name
When a Rolls-Royce engine on a Cathay Pacific Airbus A350 caught fire shortly after taking off from Hong Kong last week, the aviation industry’s collective groan could be heard around the world. Shares in Rolls-Royce fell 6.5 per cent as investors worried that its recovery was in jeopardy. Happily, it appears to have been a false alarm.
One is the fact that people are flying more. Engines are often sold to airlines on lease-like contracts under which manufacturers guarantee their reliability in return for cash payments based on flying hours. Rolls-Royce makes an initial loss on selling most commercial aircraft engines and the rewards grow as they are flown. The second cycle is the maturity of its portfolio.
