Aircraft maker Airbus in conjunction with engine manufacturer Rolls Royce (RR.L) has according to reports this morning won a series of big order from Delta Airlines.

Reports on trade websites say that Airbus will sell Delta 25 A350-900s and 25 A330-900s and Rolls-Royce will be the sole-source engine supplier. The order of 50 wide body aircraft was apparently hotly contested with US aviation giant Boeing.

Broker Liberum says the deal could be worth an estimated $3Bln to Rolls Royce (RR.L)
