               ROLLS-ROYCE WINS $650 MILLION ORDER FROM AEROFLOT               

Aeroflot, Russia's national airline, has ordered 24 Trent 700 engines to power
11 Airbus A330s. The order is worth $650 million at list prices and includes a
TotalCare® long term service agreement.

The first flight of Aeroflot's A330 in December 2008 was the debut of the
Rolls-Royce Trent engine in Russia. Since it entered service 18 months ago, the
Trent 700 has established an excellent track record with Aeroflot, providing
outstanding levels of reliability, performance and efficiency.

Nick Devall, Executive Vice President - Civil Aerospace, Rolls-Royce said: "We
are very pleased that Aeroflot has again put its trust in our technology. Every
repeat order is a great vote of confidence in Rolls-Royce - its products,
services and people. This announcement marks another important stage in our
relationship with Aeroflot."

As the only engine specifically designed for the A330, the Trent 700 has won
more than 70 per cent of new orders over the last three years. With more than
300 Trent 700-powered aircraft in service, the engine has accumulated over 
13.3 million flying hours.
