       ROLLS-ROYCE REACHES $360 MILLION AGREEMENT WITH ETIHAD AIRWAYS

Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has reached an agreement with
Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, to provide
long-term engine services and performance enhancement kits worth a total of
$360 million.

The Abu Dhabi-based airline will receive TotalCare® services for Trent 700
engines that power four Airbus A330 aircraft. It will also extend an existing
contract covering the same engines that power 20 more of its A330 fleet.

In addition, the airline will introduce Enhanced Performance (EP) kits on 
30 of its Trent 700s, which will increase their fuel efficiency by more than 
one per cent per engine and reduce CO2 emissions by 800 tonnes per aircraft 
per year.

The Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, Mr James Hogan, said: "This is
an extension of a long term partnership between Etihad and Rolls-Royce, which
will result in greater fuel efficiency and cost savings. Environmental
performance is a key consideration for Etihad so we are particularly pleased to
be introducing the EP kits on our Rolls-Royce engines."

Mark King, Rolls-Royce, President - Civil Aerospace, said: "Our aftermarket
services are designed to offer real value to customers as they manage their
fleets. We are committed to continual improvement of our engines and our 
EP kits extend the Trent 700's industry-leading position as the most efficient
engine on the A330."

The Trent 700, the only engine designed specifically for the A330, has won more
than 75 per cent of orders in the last three years and more than 1,300 are now
in service or on order.

TotalCare® long-term service agreements, in place on 90 per cent of Trent
engines in service, are designed to maximise engine availability to improve
airline operational performance and reliability.
