Huh. I always thought they had GE engines.

I think the purchasing airline can choose the engines, in some (many/most?) cases.

And this is just from a Quora page, but interesting:
"Market share of all three engine manufacturers, however, differs with each type of aircraft or its developed versions. For example, in A380 market Rolls Royce’s share is 40%, with Trent 900 engine. P&W and GE joint venture GP7000 engine has the remaining market. In B777 market GE holds about 65% share, with GE 90 engine, Rolls Royce 20% with Trent 800 engine and P&W 15% with PW4000 engine. In B787 market, Rolls Royce has 40% share, with Trent 1000 engine, GE has the remaining 60%, with GEnx series engines. P&W is out of competition."
