Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won a share of an order from
China Eastern Airlines for V2500 engines to power 50 new Airbus A320 series
aircraft. The contract includes a long-term engine maintenance agreement. The
value of the contract to Rolls-Royce is over $400 million.

Deliveries will commence in August 2012 and continue to 2015 and China Eastern

Pratt & Whitney, the Japanese Aero Engines Corporation and MTU Aero Engines.

There are more than 5,500 V2500s in service or on firm order with nearly 
200 customers around the world.
