                               ROUTES TO BRITAIN
             4 TO LIVERPOOL, 2 TO LONDON, 1 TO NEWCASTLE & GLASGOW
          LAUNCHES EUROPE WIDE SEAT SALE - 3M REASONS TO VISIT LONDON

In London today (Wednesday, 13th July 2005) Ryanair, the largest passenger
airline in the UK-European market and the number one carrier of overseas
visitors into London unveiled 8 new routes for this Winter's schedule, including
two new destinations with daily flights from London Stansted to Toulon in the
South of France and Krakow in Poland. Ryanair also unveiled four new routes from
its Liverpool base to Oslo, Riga, Carcassonne and Bergerac, as well as a new
route from Newcastle to Oslo and from Glasgow Prestwick to Krakow. As part of
this expansion a fifth aircraft will now be based in Liverpool from 27th
September next.

Ryanair also announced this morning that it would launch a major tourism drive
to encourage visitors to come to London by releasing 3 million seats at a price
of just £1 or €1 plus taxes, which have gone on sale on Ryanair's website at
www.ryanair.com for travel during August, September and October 2005. This seat
sale will be backed up with a Pan European £5 million advertising campaign over
the next 3 months featuring London and a range of other British cities.

Speaking this morning in London, Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, said:

        'Ryanair decided to bring forward these route launches and this seat
        sale from September to the middle of July because we believe the best
        response to last weeks terrorist attacks is for ordinary people to
        continue to live their lives as normal, and to continue to travel as
        before. It is more important than ever that the leading players in
        London and British tourism such as Ryanair make it even more attractive
        for visitors to come to London this Autumn and show the terrorists that
        we will not be put off by their atrocities.

        'We are delighted with our two new routes to London from Krakow in
        Poland and Toulon in the South of France and we are particularly pleased
        with the continued expansion of our successful Liverpool base, which is
        growing rapidly. We expect that traffic at Liverpool will continue to
        grow, particularly as the city becomes Europe's capital of culture in
        2006.

        'These 3 million seats went on sale on our website at Ryanair.com this
        week and will remain available for booking until midnight on Monday next
        for travel during the months of August, September and October 2005.
        However, since seats at these low prices during the peak Summer period
        are a rarity, we would encourage all visitors to London to snap them up
        quickly as there will be huge demand for them'.
