 RYANAIR ANNOUNCES MINOR FLIGHT CHANGES TO ACCOMMODATE AIRCRAFT DELIVERY DELAYS
                          BECAUSE OF THE BOEING STRIKE

Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today announced a series of minor
modifications to its flight schedule during the months of September and October
arising from delays in the delivery of seven aircraft which were scheduled to be
received in September and October, but are now not expected to be delivered
until November and December.

Boeing, Ryanair's aircraft supplier have experienced work stoppages since early
September. Ryanair is now assuming that these disruptions will continue until at
least the end of October. There is every possibility that the dispute at Boeing
may be resolved earlier than this date, however Ryanair is keen to give
passengers the maximum degree of notice, and has therefore taken the following
steps with regard to its September/October flight programme:

 1. •Three of the 737-200 series aircraft which were due to be retired in
    September will continue in service until the end of October.

 2. •The new base launches in Liverpool and Pisa, both of which are scheduled to
    commence on 27th September and 10th October will proceed as normal with
    Ryanair using a new 737-800 which was delivered by Boeing in early
    September, and also using one of the three spare 800's for the month of
    October.

 3. •Approximately 200 flights (representing less than 1%) have been amalgamated
    during the month of October. Ryanair expects that the financial impact of
    the amalgamations will be immaterial in both the third quarter and in the
    full year results.

Ryanair will continue to liaise closely with Boeing as the dispute evolves
through the remainder of September and into October. If there is a likelihood of
the dispute continuing into November, Ryanair will make an early decision and
ensure that all passengers are notified of any schedule changes during the first
week of October if at that time it is expected that the impact will continue
into November.

As always Ryanair's primary objective is to provide our customers with as much
advance notice as possible of these minor schedule alterations, whilst at the
same time fully supporting our partners Boeing as they work with their people to
resolve the current dispute and resume delivering the world's best aircraft to
the world's favourite international airline.

Ends.                   Tuesday, 20th September 2005.
