            EGYPTAIR ORDER STRENGTHENS TRENT'S HOLD ON MIDDLE EAST             

Rolls-Royce announced today (17 June) that EgyptAir had selected the Trent 700
engine to power its new medium range flagship fleet of Airbus A330-200
aircraft.

The deal, which involves firm orders for seven twinjets, is valued at around
$150 million by Rolls-Royce. Deliveries begin in June 2004.

Mike Terrett, President - Civil Aerospace, Rolls-Royce, said: 'We are delighted
with this opportunity to introduce the Trent into EgyptAir's future fleet. It
is a decision which underlines the strength of the Trent 700 in the Middle East
and allows us to develop a new era of relationships between Rolls-Royce and
EgyptAir.'

EgyptAir becomes the fifth Middle East carrier to choose the Trent 700, which
now powers 80 per cent of A330s in the region. The new fleet will be used on
routes to destinations including Europe and South Africa.

As well as its low noise and increased payload capability, the Trent 700 has
also proved its durability in the hot and harsh operating environment of the
Middle East.

EgyptAir becomes the 26th customer for the Trent 700, the largest total of any
engine manufacturer on the A330.
