           ROLLS-ROYCE SECURES $160 MILLION SHARE OF TAM V2500 DEAL            

Rolls-Royce has won business worth up to $160 million as its share of an order
for V2500 engines and aftermarket services from Brazil's largest airline, TAM.

The airline has placed a follow-on order for the V2500 to power an additional
fleet of 15 Airbus A320-family twinjets, comprising 11 A319s and four A321s.
TAM has been operating V2500-powered A320 family aircraft since 1999 and
currently has a fleet of 38 in service.

The engine order is supported by a long-term V2500SelectSM aftermarket services
agreement.

The V2500 is produced by the International Aero Engines consortium (IAE) in
which Rolls-Royce is a senior shareholder. In addition to Rolls-Royce, IAE's
partners are Pratt & Whitney of the United States, the Japanese Aero Engines
Corporation and MTU Aero Engines of Germany.

With a range of thrust from 22,000lb -33,000lb, the V2500-A5 is available to
power the Airbus A319, A320 and A321 as well as the A319 Corporate Jet. More
than 1,300 V2500-powered aircraft have been delivered to over 120 customers to
date and there are more than 5,000 engines delivered or on order.
