     RYANAIR CELEBRATES 1.6 MILLION FRENCH PASSENGERS WITH €19.99 SEAT SALE




Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (Wednesday, 27th November
2002) announced that it will carry over 1.6 million passengers on its 14 routes
to/from France this year making Ryanair the largest low fares airline in France.
To celebrate this new milestone Ryanair announced that it would offer all of its
seats for sale in the month of January at an amazing low fare of €19.99 one way
including tax.

Launching the seat sale in Paris today, Ryanair's Chief Executive, Michael
O'Leary said:


        'France was the first continental European country that Ryanair flew to
        in 1997 with our route from Dublin to Paris Beauvais. Since then the
        number passengers travelling between these two cities has more than
        doubled with Ryanair leading the way with its widely available low
        fares. With this firm foundation of massive success on our initial
        route, Ryanair has today built a network of 15 international routes to
        France and this year will carry over 1.6 million passengers in and out
        of the country. In particular, Ryanair has revived international links
        from many provincial airports which otherwise would only have Air France
        services to Paris.

        'Ryanair's success is built on offering the lowest fares on every route
        with fare differentials of up to 90% against fares charged by Air France
        on the same route. On our newest route from Strasburg to London we have
        sold over 75% of the seats in the first month at fares which are 90%
        lower than those originally quoted by Air France. Already Air France
        have reduced their fares by €500, but their fares still remain 3 to 4
        times those of Ryanair. This is even more evidence that Ryanair is
        bringing choice, competition and a general reduction in airfares on
        every route that it flies.

        'In order to celebrate the landmark of flying 1.6 million passengers in
        and out of France this year, we are announcing that we will offer every
        seat for sale for flying in January for €19.99 one way including tax.
        When it comes to offering low fares on a widely available basis there is
        only one low fares airline and that is clearly Ryanair. We are not
        offering you 20% or even 50% of our seats at a low fare - we are
        offering every one of these seats, so book now as demand is going to be
        phenomenal and booking must end midnight on Friday the 28th of
        November'.
