                    RYANAIR LAUCHES NEW ROUTES FROM SCOTLAND
                              TO ITALY AND IRELAND

Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airline, today (29th October 03) launched two
new routes from Glasgow Prestwick to Milan and Shannon. The new route to Shannon
will commence on 4th December 2003 with fares from £19.99 (inc. tax), and the
new route to Milan Bergamo will commence on 7th January 2004, with fares from
only £29.99 (inc. tax).

Announcing the two new routes in Glasgow today, Ryanair's Chief Executive,
Michael O'Leary said:

'The new Ryanair routes from Glasgow Prestwick Airport are Scotland's first
direct daily services to Milan and Shannon. Ryanair now flies 14 direct daily
international routes from Scotland and this year Ryanair will carry 2 Million
passengers to/from Scotland, delivering 1.2 Million visitors to Scottish
tourism, creating 2000 tourism jobs in Scotland, and making Glasgow Prestwick
Airport Glasgow's really international airport.

'Fares start at an incredible £19.99 o/w to Shannon and £29.99 o/w to Milan,
saving consumers a whopping £416.00 and £356.00 respectively off BA's rip-off
high fares. Not only will consumers and visitors save huge amounts of money,
they will also save time too, with no need for wasting hours being forced by BA
through congested hub airports like Heathrow, Birmingham or Manchester.Seats for
the new routes are on sale right now at www.ryanair.com. We would urge the
public to book now - and remember there's £20.00 OFF return fares on all routes
until midnight Thursday 30th October. At these new low fares, Ryanair's new
routes will be an instant hit with visitors to Scotland and Scottish consumers.

'Ryanair's commitment to Scotland continues with these new routes and next month,
200 new jobs will be created at Ryanair's new maintenance facility at Glasgow
Prestwick Airport.'
