                        Hamburg-Lubeck - Pisa for €39.99


Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airlines, today (12 March 2003) announced its
seventh route from Germany to Italy with a new daily route between
Hamburg-Lubeck and Pisa with fares starting from €39.99 including taxes.

Announcing details of the new route, Ryanair's Head of Communications, Paul
Fitzsimmons said:

'Ryanair's low fares arrived in Germany in 1999 with the opening of our
London-Stansted to Frankfurt-Hahn route. Only then did the German public realise
how much they were saving compared to the High Fares airlines like Lufthansa.

'Since our arrival, we've opened routes to Hamburg-Lubeck and Friedrichshafen
and opened our base in Frankfurt-Hahn where we now fly 15 routes across Europe.
Since we started flying from Hamburg-Lubeck in June 2000, we have carried almost
500,000 passengers on the route to London-Stansted.

'To date, close to 3m passengers have taken advantage of Ryanair's low fares in
Germany. Our Germany-Italy routes are particularly popular. We've flown over
500,000 passengers on our Frankfurt-Hahn-Italy routes, of which 190,000 have
travelled on the Frankfurt-Hahn-Pisa route.

'Now, from the 1st of May, you can fly between Hamburg-Lubeck and Pisa for
€39.99 - saving you an amazing 95% on the equivalent Lufthansa fare. The new
Hamburg-Lubeck-Pisa route starts on 1st May 2003 with low fares starting from an
incredible €39.99, a saving of 95% on corresponding Lufthansa routes'.
