                       BIGGEST EVER EUROPEAN EXPANSION -

                         50 NEW RYANAIR ROUTES FOR 2008

Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (Tuesday, 18th December 2007)
announced new routes from 6 British Airports, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Liverpool,
London, Manchester and Newquay as part of its biggest ever European expansion,
which sees 50 new European routes in 2008, including 3 new airports, Angouleme
(France), Arad and Constanta (Romania). This brings Ryanair's network to over
600 routes for Summer 2008.

Announcing this expansion, Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary, said:

        'Next year almost 60 million passengers will enjoy Ryanair's guaranteed
        lowest fares across Europe. Passengers at 15 of our European bases are
        already set to benefit from this expansion, with a total of 50 new
        routes already announced for 2008. We look forward in 2008 to
        guaranteeing the lowest fares for even more European consumers as they
        save €6bn with Ryanair compared to the high fares and fuel surcharges
        levied by Europe's flag carriers.

        'To celebrate the roll out of Ryanair's largest ever European expansion,
        we are releasing 2 million seats across our 605 European routes for just
        £10/€10. This offer must end at midnight Thursday, so we advise
        passengers to go straight to www.ryanair.com because these bargains will
        be snapped up in record time'.
