Burma update

On October 11 2007, Rolls-Royce announced the following:

In view of the situation in Burma, Rolls-Royce has decided to cease all business with that country. The company is immediately returning two engines to Myanmar Airways which were awaiting overhaul at one of our UK facilities and we will terminate the contract for future repair work.

Rolls-Royce does also have contractual commitments with a Singapore-based operator who, in turn, leases an aircraft to a Burmese airline. Action is in hand to terminate this contract also and it is anticipated that this involvement will be terminated by early November 2007.

At that point Rolls-Royce will have no further involvement in Burma and will not be seeking any further business.
