                    RYANAIR CARRIES OVER 3M PASSENGERS IN JULY
                         3 MILLION SEPTEMBER SEAT SALE

Ryanair, Europe's No. 1 low fares airline today (Wednesday 3rd August 2005)
announced record passenger figures for a European low fares airline, by carrying
over 3 M passengers in one month for the first time. Ryanair now operates 250
routes across 21 countries.

Speaking today, Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary said:

        'We are delighted that Ryanair is the first low fares airline to carry
        over 3M passengers in July. This is more passengers in 1 month than we
        carried in all of 1997 or almost half of Aer Lingus' total annual
        passenger numbers.

        'Our 3M passengers in July saved over €300M compared to the high fares
        charged by our flag carrier competitors airlines and is supporting over
        3,000 jobs in Europe. We look forward to doubling our passenger numbers
        so that by 2010 we will be able to carry 6M passengers in 1 month.'

        'To celebrate we are launching a 3M Europe-wide September seat sale at
        our lowest ever prices on all routes. We are urging passengers to book
        quickly on www.ryanair.com as September seats at these prices will sell
        fast.'
