   ROLLS-ROYCE WINS SAUDI ARABIAN AIRLINES ORDER WORTH UP TO $500M

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won an order from Saudi
Arabian Airlines, worth up to $500m, to provide engines and TotalCare® support
for four Airbus A330 aircraft already announced and four options.

These aircraft, which are due to enter service from 2013, will be in addition
to Saudi Arabian Airlines' existing fleet of eight Trent 700 powered Airbus
A330s, and will bring the total of Trent 700 powered A330s in the fleet to
sixteen.

Khaled Al-Molhem, Saudi Arabian Airlines Director General said: "Our first
Trent 700 powered A330 went into service in May last year and, since then it
has performed flawlessly. We have confidence that Rolls-Royce technology and
support services are the right choice for our continued growth."

Phil Harris, Rolls-Royce, Senior Vice President - Civil Aerospace, said: "The
Trent 700 is a market leader and in the Middle East it is the engine of choice
for 8 out of the 11 operators of the Airbus A330, powering three quarters of
the aircraft in service. We are proud that our valued customer, Saudi Arabian
Airlines has again put its trust in our world leading technology and
aftermarket support."

The Trent 700, the only engine designed specifically for the A330 aircraft, has
won more than 75 per cent of orders in the last three years and over 1,400
Trent 700 engines are now in service or on order. Eight out of 11 operators in
the Middle East have selected the Trent 700 and all Trent engines in service in
the Middle East are covered by TotalCare® long term service support.
