            MEXICANACLICK AWARDS ROLLS-ROYCE $350 MILLION CONTRACT             

Rolls-Royce has signed a long-term engine service agreement worth more than
$350 million with Mexicana Group for the fleet of aircraft operated by its
low-cost subsidiary, MexicanaClick. The TotalCare® agreement covers 25 newly
leased Boeing 717-200s, powered by Rolls-Royce BR715 engines.

Today, more than 55 per cent of Rolls-Royce's modern jet engine fleet is
covered by TotalCare or CorporateCare® service agreements.

Ricardo Baston, Executive Vice President, Corporate Planning and Fleet
Transactions, Mexicana Airlines said: "Mexicana prides itself on reliability,
innovation and technology. We have relied on high-performance Rolls-Royce
engines for nearly 20 years. Selection of the BR715 for MexicanaClick will
bring class leading payload and reliable performance, supported by
Rolls-Royce's world class TotalCare program."

Lewis Prebble, Rolls-Royce Vice President of Customer Business said: "We are
delighted to begin the next chapter in this long-standing relationship.
TotalCare will deliver tailored and comprehensive engine services for Mexicana,
underpinned by deep engine expertise that only we can provide."

The Boeing 717-200, for which Rolls-Royce provides the sole power plant
available, is the quietest, most efficient airframe and engine combination in
its class. The BR715 offers operators benefits such as: noise levels far below
current [Chapter 4 noise rules] regulations; emissions well below current ICAO
regulations; and up to 25 per cent improved fuel burn relative to previous
generation power plants. Specific fuel consumption (SFC) levels are the lowest
in its thrust class, enabling outstanding aircraft range.

 4. TotalCare is tailored for individual customers and offers a range of

 5. In 2008, Rolls-Royce spent over £800 million on research and development,
    two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the
    environmental aspects of its products. The primary technology investment
    area is aimed at reducing noise and emissions.
