Aircraft Engine Manufacturer Rolls Royce Needs to Sell Assets to Raise Funds

THE company that manufactures Rolls Royce engines has suffered considerably from the pandemic and the lockdown and is looking to sell a number of subsidiaries to raise €2.2 billion.

Marked for disposal is Spanish based engine and turbine manufacturer ITP Aero and with a €2.19 billion loan due to be repaid by October 2021 it needs cash as quickly as possible as well as a return to production of engines.

With 4,000 staff lost so far, it expects to shed a further 5,000 across the group this year.
