Re Contract

15 February, 2008

               SINGAPORE AIRLINES SELECTS ROLLS-ROYCE TRENT 900                
                      AND TOTALCARE FOR ADDITIONAL A380s                       

Singapore Airlines has selected the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 to power a follow-on
order for nine firm additional Airbus A380s. The contract also includes a
TotalCare long-term services agreement.

The airline previously selected the Trent 900 to power its initial fleet of 10
A380s, of which two have entered commercial service. These engines are also
covered by a TotalCare agreement.

Sir John Rose, Chief Executive of Rolls-Royce, said: "Follow-on orders are a
strong indicator of customer confidence in our products, services and our
people. We've been working with Singapore Airlines for over a decade and have
established a strong relationship based on mutual respect and understanding.
This has grown into a valued partnership."

In addition to the two A380s currently in service, Singapore Airlines currently
operates a fleet of 63 Rolls-Royce powered aircraft, including five Airbus
A340-500s, 58 Boeing 777s, powered by the Trent 500 and Trent 800 respectively.
The airline has also selected the Trent 700 for its future fleet of Airbus
A330s, due for delivery from 2009.

NOTE TO EDITORS:

 1. Nine out of the 12 operators who have made A380 engine selections to date
    have chosen the Trent 900, giving Rolls-Royce a market-leading 58 per cent
    share of firm and option orders.
   
 2. The Trent 900, one of the most powerful engines ever produced by
    Rolls-Royce, has been designed to minimise its environmental impact, and
    will operate well within the requirements of all current and proposed
    legislation on emissions. The Trent-powered A380 comfortably meets the
    stringent noise limits for airports such as London Heathrow, one of the
    aircraft's early destinations for Singapore Airlines.
   
 3. Rolls-Royce will be exhibiting at the Singapore Airshow from 19th to 24th
    February, Stand N23.
