              RYANAIR BUYS 10 MORE BOEING 737-800s VALUED AT $700M


Ryanair, Europe's favourite international airline today (Monday, 3rd July 2006)
announced that it has bought ten more Boeing 737-800s for delivery in 2008.

The ten aircraft will enter the Ryanair fleet in March (3), April (4) and June
(3) of 2008 and will increase the total number of firm orders made by Ryanair
for Boeing 737-800 aircraft to 249.

Announcing the fleet expansion, Howard Millar, Ryanair's Chief Financial Officer
and Deputy CEO said:

        'These 10 new aircraft will allow Ryanair to launch even more low fare
        routes to new destinations in 2008. Ryanair's no fuel surcharge
        guarantee is widening the gap between our low fares and the high prices
        of our fuel surcharging competitors. This is driving demand and
        attracting millions of additional passengers to Ryanair.

        'Ryanair is proud to be working with Boeing to deliver this growth. The
        outstanding reliability and lowest operating costs of Boeing's 737-800
        aircraft lie at the heart of Ryanair's ability to deliver the lowest
        fares and best punctuality to our passengers'.

Editor's Note:

Ryanair operates a current fleet of 107 Boeing 737-800's and over the next 6
years it will buy 142 more 737-800 aircraft from Boeing. Ryanair also has
options for a further 169 aircraft between 2008 and 2014.
