         ROLLS-ROYCE AND SYNERGY GROUP SIGN $630M TRENT 700 AGREEMENT

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won a $630 million contract
with Brazil-based conglomerate Synergy Aerospace to provide Trent 700 engines
and TotalCare® long-term engine service support for nine Airbus A330 aircraft.

Germán Efromovich, Chairman, Synergy Group, said: "We look forward to
continuing our relationship with Rolls-Royce and have confidence in the
benefits of both its Trent 700 technology and support services."

Peter Turner, Rolls-Royce, Civil Aerospace Vice President - Customer Business,
said: "The Trent 700 has become the engine of choice for A330 operators,
selected for around 75 per cent of future engine orders on the A330. The
combination of Trent technology and comprehensive TotalCare® support will
deliver significant benefits to Synergy Aerospace."

The Trent 700 is the only engine specifically designed for the Airbus A330 and
is the most fuel efficient, cleanest and quietest engine for the aircraft. More
than 1,400 Trent 700 engines are now in service or on firm order.

Of the nine aircraft ordered, six will be passenger and three freighter.
