ROLLS-ROYCE ANNOUNCES NEW TOTALCARE® DEALS WORTH
$1.2 BILLION WITH EMIRATES
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has concluded new agreements to
provide engine services for 50 of Emirates' existing fleet of 152 wide-bodied
aircraft.
Rolls-Royce will provide TotalCare long term services support for Trent 700
engines powering 29 Airbus A330 aircraft and Trent 800 engines powering
21 Boeing 777 aircraft.
His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive,
Emirates Airline & Group said: "These agreements will extend the business
relationship and strengthen the partnership between the two companies. This
will also provide a better platform for effective management of engine life
cycle costs and enhanced engine reliability."
Sir John Rose, Rolls-Royce, Chief Executive, said: "We are delighted to
announce these agreements with Emirates, a valued customer with three Trent
engine family members in service. All are now supported by TotalCare service
packages which optimise operational efficiency."
With a fleet of 152 modern, wide-bodied aircraft Emirates currently flies to
108 destinations in 65 countries from its international hub of Dubai.
TotalCare long-term service agreements, in place on 90 per cent of Trent
engines, are designed to minimise customer financial risk and enhance
operational performance and reliability, allowing operators to concentrate on
their core business.
Notes to Editors:

on land, at sea and in the air, has established a strong position in global
markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
2. As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce today has a broad customer base
comprising more than 600 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and
helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 2,000 marine customers,
including 70 navies, and energy customers in nearly 120 countries, with an
installed base of 54,000 gas turbines.
3. Rolls-Royce employs 39,000 skilled people in offices, manufacturing and
service facilities in 50 countries. The Group has a strong commitment to

4. In 2009, Rolls-Royce invested £864 million on research and development,
two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental
aspects of its products, in particular the reduction of emissions.
5. Annual underlying revenues were £10.1 billion in 2009, of which about half
came from services revenues. The firm and announced order book stood at
£58.4 billion at 30 June 2010, providing visibility of future levels of activity.
6. The long established relationship between Rolls-Royce and Emirates started
in 1993. Since then, Rolls-Royce has provided the carrier with Trent 700 and
Trent 800 engines to power 29 A330s and 21 Boeing 777s respectively. Emirates
