                   ROLLS-ROYCE WINS $560 MILLION ORDER FROM                    
                              LUFTHANSA AND SWISS                              

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won an order worth $560m, at
list prices, for Trent 700 engines to power eight Lufthansa and SWISS Airbus
A330 aircraft. The order includes a TotalCare® long-term service agreement. The
aircraft will enter service from 2012.

Mark King, Rolls-Royce President - Civil Aerospace, said: "We are delighted
that Lufthansa and SWISS continue to put their trust in our leading-edge Trent
technology. The competitive TotalCare® support package we are able to offer
will enable our customers to derive additional operational and performance
benefits."

Nico Buchholz, Executive Vice President Lufthansa Group Fleet Management, said:
"Both airlines have had a good experience of the Trent 700's exceptional
reliability and performance as well as the ability of TotalCare® to provide
support which allows us to continually improve our efficiency."

The Trent 700 is the only engine specifically designed for the Airbus A330 and
over 1,000 are now in service or on firm order. The engine remains the market
leader for the aircraft, capturing 75 per cent of orders over the last three
years. The engine offers outstanding levels of performance while delivering the
highest available thrust.
