                  ON ITS BRUSSELS AND FRANKFURT - MILAN ROUTES

Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airline, today (Tuesday, 26th July 2005)
announced a new route from its Milan base to Bratislava starting daily from 10th
October 2005.

Ryanair also announced increased frequency (from 1 to 2 daily) on its Brussels
and Frankfurt routes from Milan which will take effect from mid-October. This
brings the total number of Ryanair routes from Milan to 18. Today's announcement
will generate an additional 300,000 passengers and bring the total number of

Speaking this morning, Peter Sherrard, Ryanair's Head of Communications, said:

        'This is the first route from our Milan base to Eastern Europe.
        Passengers will now be able to travel between Italy and Slovakia in
        under 1 hour on one of our brand new Boeing 737 aircraft, for a fraction
        of existing high fares charged by Alitalia. Ryanair will this year carry
        2 M passengers through Milan Bergamo airport and they will save over
        €200M compared to the high fares of Alitalia.
