        ROLLS-ROYCE SIGNS US$103 MILLION LONG-TERM ENGINE MAINTENANCE 
                  AGREEMENT WITH EXECUTIVE JET AVIATION

Rolls-Royce plc today announced the signing of a US$103 million Power by the
Hour(R) agreement with Executive Jet Services, Inc. for engine maintenance on
the company's fleet of Cessna Citation X aircraft.  This contract extends to 10
years a previous agreement covering all Rolls-Royce AE 3007-powered aircraft
either owned or managed by EJA, the world's largest commercial operator of
business aircraft.

All Rolls-Royce-powered aircraft operated by Executive Jet are now covered under
long-term engine maintenance programmes.  A similar contract for Rolls-Royce
powered Gulfstream GIV and GV corporate jets was signed in late 1999.

Financial and aftermarket services account for 40 per cent of Rolls-Royce sales.
 The company has developed a broad range of services in response to the rapid
growth of its customer base, the growing numbers of products in service and the
increasing requirement from customers for through-life support.

Power by the Hour(R) agreements form part of a full range of services that
Rolls-Royce offers to its customers.  Under Power by the Hour(R), Rolls-Royce
provides a broad range of maintenance support in return for a fixed fee.

Background Information:
-  The Rolls-Royce AE common core engine family has accumulated more than 2.5   
  million flight hours since entering service.
-  Rolls-Royce overhauls more than 1,500 aero-engines and 4,500 modules each    
  year.  The company repairs 47 different engine types for 400 customers        
 through a worldwide network of 16 repair and overhaul operations on four       
continents.
-  The company's aero repair and overhaul business continued to grow in 1999 as 
  a result of its comprehensive international network of repair bases and the

overhaul contracts during the year.
-  The 7,600 lb thrust Rolls-Royce AE 3007 engine is the sole powerplant for    
  the Citation X, which cruises at Mach 0.92, making it the world's fastest     
 business jet.
