Rolls-Royce awarded support agreement for the EJ200 engine

Rolls-Royce has been awarded a five-year support contract with the UK Ministry of Defence for the maintenance and service of the EJ200 engine that powers the Royal Air Force's Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft. The Typhoon Engine Support Solution (TESS) will see Rolls-Royce continue to provide maintenance and repair to 130 EJ200 engines, supporting approximately 200 direct jobs.

Most of the TESS contract work will occur at Rolls-Royce UK Defence headquarters in Bristol. The site is home to the research, development and manufacture of the UK's military power and propulsion for the next generation of aircraft; i.e. Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP). The five-year contract has been awarded by Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), the procurement arm of the Ministry of Defence (MOD).
