Ryanair Holdings PLC 25 February 2008 RYANAIR.COM REOPENS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE EUROPE'S GUARANTEED LOWEST FARES RETURN Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline, today announced that its website booking engine upgrade has been completed one day ahead of schedule, allowing Ryanair.com to return to business, guaranteeing the lowest fares on 633 routes across Europe. Speaking today, Ryanair's Head of Communication, Peter Sherrard said: 'Our new booking site, like our flights, has arrived under budget and ahead of schedule. Ryanair would like to thank its customers for their patience during this transition period and we look forward to slashing prices again with our lowest fares and no fuel surcharge guarantee. 'Our new, improved booking engine will enable us to welcome millions of additional passengers as we double in size to 100m passengers per annum. 'We expect to be dealing with some small bedding down issues over the next few days and we would ask passengers to please bear with us as we iron them out. On Tuesday, Ryanair will release 1 million seats for just 1p inclusive of taxes and charges, proving the OFT and the media's much hyped demise of the 1p fare wrong. To get your hands on one of our million 1 p tax inclusive seats make sure to visit www.ryanair.com on Tuesday'.
