Not suggesting that they will, but they could opt for GEnx engines of course. After all they've operated a 777 fleet for years with both RR and GE engines.

At present the 8 daily flights generally break down as follows:
*4x 777-200

With some variation though, such as occasional 77W operation.

For some reason I thought it was Z(zz) as in Dream(liner) and B for Boeing..... and the J in the 787-8 reg for Jet.
But, ZB as in look-alike for 78 sounds more plausible and less contrived. 😀

That will likely mean a wide variety of aircraft types in the LH fleet over the next 25-30 years. Not so...
