               RYANAIR OPENS 2 NEW ROUTES TO WARSAW AND STOCKHOLM

              & EXTENDS PRIORITY BOARDING OPTION TO ALL PASSENGERS


Ryanair, Ireland's favourite airline, today (Wednesday, 18th October 2006)
announced 2 new routes from Dublin to Warsaw and Stockholm. This brings to 20
the number of new European routes that Ryanair will launch from Dublin in 2007
and takes to 71 the number of low fare destinations that Ryanair offers to
Dublin passengers. These 20 new routes from Dublin in 2007 prove a number of
points:

1) There is ample room at Dublin airport to grow

2) There will be increased competition between RY and AL regardless of whether

    the current bid succeeds or not. This increased competition between RY and
    AL disproves the claims of those who suggest that the Ryanair offer will
    lead to less competition and higher fares.

3) AL's high fares will be forced down through competition - better deal for
consumers.

Ryanair also announced today a new online check-in and priority boarding service
enhancement that will allow all passengers to enjoy online check-in / priority
boarding for just £2/€3 per flight from 1st November 2006. This service
improvement will extend the option of priority boarding to all passengers and
not just those travelling without checked in bags as was previously the case.

Passengers travelling with checked in luggage will (from 1st November) be able
to enjoy priority boarding at departure gates for £2/€3 per flight. These
passengers will then be entitled to board the aircraft first and choose their
seats. This will be particularly advantageous for families and groups who wish
to travel together.

Those travelling with hand luggage only will also have the option to enjoy the
double benefit of bypassing airport check-in queues and avail of priority
boarding at the departure gate by checking in on line for just £2/€3 per flight.

From 1st November, families with children will no longer be pre-boarded however
they will have the option of online check-in and priority boarding if travelling
without checked in luggage or priority boarding purchased at the airport if
travelling with checked in bags.

Announcing these new routes and additional service enhancements, Mr. Michael
Cawley Ryanair's Deputy CEO said:

        'Ryanair's continued expansion is great news for passengers who will
        enjoy our lowest fares to even more destinations. The arrival of Ryanair
        means just one thing for all passengers, whether in Dublin, Warsaw or
        Stockholm - lower fares, better service, more flights and a welcome
        saving from the high fares of Aer Lingus, LOT and SAS.

        'The launch of 20 low fare Ryanair routes from Dublin, starting December
        will enable passengers to travel to 71 destinations throughout Europe
        for less than half the price of Aer Lingus. There is plenty of room for
        all European airlines to grow from Dublin and Ryanair is growing fastest
        because passengers are voting with their feet in favour of the lowest
        fares. Regardless of whether Ryanair offer for Aer Lingus succeeds,
        these new routes mean that the two airlines will continue to compete
        vigorously with each other as well as with the 50 other high fare
        airlines currently serving Dublin to deliver lower fares and a better
        deal for consumers.

        'We are also pleased to extend the option of priority boarding to all
        passengers, including those travelling with checked in bags. This will
        make the airport experience much more pleasurable for all of our
        passengers, allowing them to go to the front of queues at departure
        gates and choose their preferred seats on board. From 1st November for
        just £2/€3 per person per flight, families, groups and friends will be
        able to guarantee their seats together on board.

        'From the same date and for the same price, passengers travelling with
        hand luggage only will enjoy the double benefit of bypassing check-in
        queues and priority boarding when they check in on-line.

        'Ryanair's No. 1 customer service already delivers the lowest fares, the
        best punctuality and the youngest aircraft. Now, Ryanair's passengers
        will also be able to enjoy a hassle free airport experience by avoiding
        queues at airport check-in and departure gates with our new online
        check-in and priority boarding service'.


Ends.                                   Wednesday, 18th October 2006
