Re Contract

2 February 2010

             ROLLS-ROYCE SIGNS TOTALCARE® SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH              
                               MALAYSIA AIRLINES                               

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has signed a long term TotalCare®
service agreement to support engines that power Malaysia Airlines' fleet of
17 Boeing 777 aircraft.

The agreement, which covers Trent 800 engines, is the first time that Malaysia
Airlines operations will be supported by TotalCare® support.

TotalCare® long-term service agreements are designed to minimise customer
financial risk and improve operational performance and reliability, allowing
operators to concentrate on their core business. Such agreements are now in
place or being finalised, for 100 per cent of Trent engines in service in the
South East Asia region. Globally, more than 2,600 Trent engines in service and
on order are covered by TotalCare®.

Malaysia Airlines Chief Executive Officer and 
Managing Director YM Tengku Dato' Azmil Zahruddin, said: "We are committed to 
improving our customer service while at the same time continuing our drive to 
manage costs more effectively. Our contract with Rolls-Royce provides us with 
greater ability to predict and manage our engine maintenance and overhaul costs."

Jim Sheard, Rolls-Royce Senior Vice President Airlines - South East Asia, said:
"We are delighted Malaysia Airlines is now part of the TotalCare® family of
operators. Our ability to evaluate Trent engine data from the worldwide fleet,
and our ability to work with each customer to plan maintenance operations, will
significantly help Malaysia Airlines to meet its operational and financial
goals."

In 2005, Malaysia Airlines ordered Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines for six Airbus
A380 aircraft that are due to enter service next year.

Rolls-Royce has a leading 50 per cent market share on modern, widebody
aircraft, with more than 1,600 Trent engines in service on more than 600
aircraft and a further 2,500 on order. Each of the six members of the Trent
family have either been the first or launch engine on the airframe, or have
gone on to take the leading market share.
