                   DUBLIN - PALMA, SANTANDER AND ZADAR (Croatia)

    Ryanair, Ireland's favourite airline, today (Thursday, 25th October 2007)
    announced its 31st new route from Shannon to Alicante and three new routes
    from Dublin to Palma, Santander and Zadar (Croatia), all of which start in
    March 2008. This will bring the number of Ryanair routes from Dublin to 83,
    and from Shannon to 31. Ryanair will carry over 13 million passengers on 135
    Irish routes next year. No other airline carries as many passengers or
    offers as many routes to/from Ireland.

    Speaking in Limerick today, Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary said:

        'Ryanair's low fares are delivering record growth for Irish Tourism on
        135 routes from 7 Irish airports. At a time when Aer Lingus is
        abandoning regional Irish airports and pulling routes such as Heathrow -
        Shannon and Poznan, Newcastle and Seville from Dublin, Ryanair will open
        18 new routes from Cork, Dublin, Kerry, Knock and Shannon in the next
        two months alone.

        'In two weeks time, Ryanair will open 8 new routes from Shannon,
        including its first domestic service from Shannon to Dublin. This new
        route will allow passengers from the mid-west to avoid the nightmare of
        traffic on the N7 and the M50, with 40 minute flights for less than the
        cost of a gallon of petrol. Ryanair's 31 Shannon routes will deliver two
        million passengers to Shannon in the coming year, generating a visitor
        spend of €350m and supporting 2,000 local jobs.

        'To celebrate the imminent launch of our Shannon Dublin service Ryanair
        is releasing 10,000 free seats* on its Shannon Dublin route for travel
        in November, December and January and we advise passengers to book now
        because these bargains will be snapped up in record time'.
