           ROLLS-ROYCE TRENT 700 TO POWER ADDITIONAL A330s FOR ILFC            

Rolls-Royce today announced that International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC)
has selected the Trent 700 to power up to five additional Airbus A330s it is
adding to its fleet. The deal is worth around $180 million to Rolls-Royce at
list prices.

This selection takes the total number of Trent-powered A330s owned by ILFC to
46 firm aircraft, and means that Rolls-Royce will now power more than 50 per
cent of ILFC's total A330 fleet. The first of the new aircraft is scheduled for
delivery in 2009.

Mike Terrett, President - Civil Aerospace at Rolls-Royce, said: "The Trent
700's popularity continues to be evident on the A330, where the engine's
flexibility makes it the ideal solution for leasing companies, who have to
accommodate a wide variety of customer operations."

John Plueger, President and Chief Operating Officer at ILFC, added: "The Trent
700's environmental characteristics are a great fit for our customers, who are
increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of their operations.
This, combined with the engine's in-service performance, has made the Trent 700
the most popular choice for our A330 fleet."

In the last three years, the Trent 700 has won more than 80 per cent of A330
engine competitions featuring aircraft leasing companies. Overall, the Trent
700 maintains a market share of over 50 per cent of lessor orders for A330s.

NOTE TO EDITORS:

 1. The Trent 700 is the only engine on the A330 that has been specifically
    designed for the aircraft, resulting in better performance, reliability and
    maintenance costs. It is the market leader on the A330 with a 43 per cent
    share of orders.
   
 2. The Trent 700 was the first engine in the Trent family to enter service in
    March 1995 and is the most powerful engine for the A330, with a maximum
    in-service thrust of 72,000lb.
   
 3. The Trent 700 is the most environmentally-friendly engine on the A330. It
    is the quietest and cleanest option, with the greatest margin to CAEP 4
    legislation.
   
 4. Rolls-Royce is working hard to improve the environmental impact of its
    products. Each year Rolls-Royce, in collaboration with its partners,
    invests around
    £700 million on research and development, two thirds of which has the
    objective of reducing the environmental impact of its products. This
    technology investment is primarily aimed at reducing noise and emissions.
