REMOVE FUEL SURCHARGES

             RYANAIR CALLS ON AER LINGUS TO REMOVE FUEL SURCHARGES

Ryanair, Ireland's 'no fuel surcharge' airline, today (Monday, 15th October
2007) renewed its call for Aer Lingus to remove its rip off fuel surcharges,
following newspaper reports that they intend to raise them AGAIN, by €5 to €55.

Ryanair's October 2006 offer for Aer Lingus guaranteed lower fares and the
removal of all Aer Lingus fuel surcharges. Aer Lingus has since increased its
already high fares and now looks set to increase its fuel surcharges for a
SECOND time since this bid lapsed. Is this what the Government meant when it
claimed that its 25% stake in Aer Lingus was there to protect consumers?

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

        'Ryanair is the only airline in Europe to guarantee no fuel surcharges -
        not today, not tomorrow, not ever. According to weekend newspaper
        reports, Aer Lingus is intent on further increasing its unfair fuel
        surcharges despite Ryanair's calls for their removal. If the Government
        really cared about 'consumer interests', why is it not calling for the
        removal of Aer Lingus' fuel surcharges too?

        'Passengers who want to avoid paying Aer Lingus' rip off fuel
        surcharges, can book today on www.ryanair.com , where Ryanair is
        offering millions of seats for just €6 including taxes with no fuel
        surcharges guaranteed for travel in October and November. While Aer
        Lingus is subjecting Irish consumers to higher fares and rip off fuel
        surcharges, Ryanair is the only airline to offer the guaranteed lowest
        fares and a no fuel surcharges ever guarantee'.
