Clarify Statements

Ryanair Holdings PLC
18 October 2006


                              Ryanair Holdings plc

Ryanair wishes to clarify statements taken out of context by some media reports
following a new route press conference this morning in Dublin, as to whether
Ryanair would increase its Offer.

Ryanair's Offer is an excellent Offer and the Board has not considered any
increase in the Offer for Aer Lingus and therefore any increase cannot be ruled
in or ruled out.

Ends.                                      Wednesday, 18th October 2006
