   RYANAIR ANNOUNCES NEW ROUTE FROM MALMO TO FRANKFURT-HAHN FROM JUST SEK 299

Malmo: 27th February 2003 Ryanair, Europe's largest Low Fares Carrier, was
delighted to announce the commencement of a new route from Malmo to
Frankfurt-Hahn in Germany today.

Commenting on the new route today, Conal Henry, Commercial Director for
Ryanair.com, said:

        'Ryanair are all about low cost base offering the lowest fares to
        consumers. Malmo has been an incredibly successful destination for us
        out of London-Stansted, and given the popularity of our other
        Scandinavian routes (Stockholm, Gothenburg and Oslo) to Frankfurt, we
        are convinced that this new route will be a storming success -
        particularly at the amazing low fare of just SEK 299. Air fares between
        Scandinavia and Germany are still among the highest in Europe with the
        Star Alliance carving the market up between its partners. With Ryanair
        now offering four destinations into Sweden and Norway, those days are
        over.'

Ryanair is offering savings of up to 84% on SAS's fares from Copenhagen to
London:
