          ROLLS-ROYCE TRENT 700 SELECTED FOR SINGAPORE AIRLINES A330s          

Rolls-Royce announced today that Singapore Airlines has selected the Trent 700
to power a new fleet of 19 leased Airbus A330-300 twinjets. The deal also
includes a TotalCare long-term services agreement.

Deliveries of these new aircraft will begin in early 2009, and will mark the
entry into service of the fourth Trent family variant in Singapore Airline's
fleet.

The airline selected the Trent 700 following a detailed evaluation of all
engines available on the A330.

Sir John Rose, Chief Executive Officer of Rolls-Royce, said: "Singapore
Airlines is a key customer for us and we're obviously very pleased at the
confidence they have shown in the Trent engine family with the selection of the
Trent 700, their fourth variant. This will further strengthen our relationship
with one of the world's leading airlines and helps to reconfirm our position as
the number one large engine manufacturer on next-generation widebodies."

The Trent 700 is the cleanest and quietest engine for the A330 and meets all
current and proposed legislation on environmental targets

Singapore Airlines currently operates a fleet of 63 Rolls-Royce powered
aircraft, including five Airbus A340-500s and 58 Boeing 777s, powered by the
Trent 500 and Trent 800 respectively. The airline also has 10 Trent 900-powered
A380s on order.

The Trent 700 is the market leader on the A330 with a 42 per cent share of
orders and 33 customers and operators. Of the A330s that have been ordered by
airlines in Asia, 61 per cent have selected the Trent 700, with Singapore being
the seventh airline customer in the region. It was the first Rolls-Royce Trent
to enter service in March 1995.

TotalCare agreements, tailored for individual customers, offer a range of
services extending to aspects of support such as provision of lease engines, as
well as repair and overhaul. Rolls-Royce takes full responsibility for care of
the engine fleet in return for payment by the customer of an agreed dollar rate
per flying hour.
