On February 4, 2026, Rolls-Royce finalized a TotalCare service agreement with China Airlines for 18 Airbus A350 aircraft, consisting of 30 Trent XWB-97 engines and 6 Trent XWB-84 engines. This contract increases the airline's fleet of Rolls-Royce powered A350s from 15 to 33.

The TotalCare package includes ongoing maintenance and engine health monitoring. Rolls-Royce plans to improve engine durability, with a significant operational test scheduled for 2027 in the Middle East. The company is also facing scrutiny over pricing amid supply chain challenges, while its defense segment remains strong, particularly in Saudi Arabia.
