Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc is offering to build an aircraft engine assembly line in China as it chases a deal to supply turbines for the Asian nation’s first wide-body passenger jet, people familiar with the matter said.
The factory would also be able to make engines for Airbus SE’s A330neo jet, which the European planemaker is eager to get into the Chinese market, according to the people, who asked not to be named because the plans aren’t public. A representative for Rolls-Royce declined to comment.
