                 ROLLS-ROYCE SECURES $5.6BN RECORD ORDER WITH                  
                   QATAR AIRWAYS SELECTION OF THE TRENT XWB                    

Rolls-Royce today announced the largest-ever firm engine order for its civil
aerospace business in an order with Qatar Airways worth $5.6 billion at list
prices, which includes a TotalCare long term services agreement. The order,
announced at the Paris Air Show, is for Trent XWB engines to power Qatar's new
fleet of 80 Airbus A350 XWB twinjets, with deliveries beginning in 2013.

The order includes all members of the A350 XWB family, consisting of 20
A350-800s, 40 A350-900s and 20 of the largest family variant, the A350-1000. A
single version of the Trent XWB will be capable of powering all aircraft in the
series.

Mr Akbar Al-Baker, Chief Executive Officer of Qatar Airways, said: "This
commonality will give us a highly-efficient engine and airframe combination
that will have a positive impact on cost of ownership. By developing this
engine specifically for the A350 XWB, Rolls-Royce will deliver an optimised
powerplant with not only the best economics, but also new generation
environmental technologies."

Sir John Rose, Chief Executive of Rolls-Royce, added: "This is an extremely
significant order from one of the world's most forward-looking airlines. Qatar
Airways has developed a reputation as ambitious and fast-moving, and we are
committed to helping it achieve its goals."

Latest noise and emissions reduction features will be drawn from the
Rolls-Royce Vision technology acquisition programmes, ensuring the Trent XWB
exceeds all current and anticipated environmental legislation by significant
margins.

The Trent XWB is the only engine available for the A350 XWB. This is Qatar
Airways' second selection of a Trent engine. The airline also operates a fleet
of four Airbus A340-600s, powered by the Trent 500.

NOTE TO EDITORS:

 1. The 75,000 - 95,000lb thrust Trent XWB is the sixth member of the
    three-shaft Trent engine series and is being developed specifically for the
    Airbus A350 XWB twinjet. It is available for deliveries from mid-2013 and
    will be certificated at 95,000lbs from entry into service.
   
 2. By the time the Trent XWB enters service, Trent series engines will have
    accumulated more than 75 million flying hours.
   
 3. TotalCare agreements, tailored for individual operators, offer a range of
    services extending to aspects of support such as latest predictive
    maintenance, asset and logistics management, as well as repair and
    overhaul. Under such long-term contracts, Rolls-Royce assumes full
    responsibility for engine maintenance in return for an agreed financial
    rate per flying hour.
   
 4. Rolls-Royce already enjoys a close relationship with Qatar. Six of the
    latest-standard Rolls-Royce industrial Trent 60 engines, developed from the
    highly successful Trent aero engine, are being installed at the heart of
    the Dolphin project, a unique initiative designed to supply large
    quantities of natural gas through a 400-kilometre pipeline from Qatar's
    North Field to the UAE. The gas will fire power generation and water
    desalinisation plants for at least the next 25 years.
   
 5. Qatar Airways is one of only five airlines in the world with a Five Star
    ranking for service and excellence awarded by Skytrax, the independent
    aviation industry monitoring agency. Skytrax also named Qatar Airways'
    cabin crew as Best in the Middle East for the fourth year running in 2006
    and second best worldwide following a survey of more than 12 million
    passengers.
   
 6. Averaging 35 per cent growth year on year, Qatar Airways carried more than
    8 million passengers during the 2006/07 financial year. The airline
    operates an all-Airbus fleet of 58 aircraft flying to 75 destinations
    across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Far East and Indian subcontinent from
    its hub in Doha, capital of the State of Qatar.
