EMIRATES, the biggest long-haul airline, said it struck a deal to accept deliveries of A380 jets powered by Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc engines after the UK manufacturer agreed to fund measures to address performance and maintenance concerns.

Dubai-based Emirates will take the first double-decker with Trent 900 engines from Rolls-Royce on Dec 16, two weeks later than planned, in light of an agreement involving both technical and commercial elements, Tim Clark, the airline's president, said on Wednesday in London.
