                 WORLD'S FAVOURITE AIRLINE LEAVES BA FAR BEHIND

                          RYANAIR CARRIES 55% MORE PASSENGERS


Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline, today (Wednesday, 5th September
2007) celebrated its busiest ever month, having carried over 4.8 million
passengers during August. Ryanair now carries 55% more passengers than BA.

Speaking today, Ryanair's Peter Sherrard said:

        'Ryanair is the passengers' favourite, and last month we carried 55%
        more passengers than BA for a fraction of their high fares. The
        combination of British Airways' high fares, fuel surcharges and frequent
        delays has prompted British passengers to choose Ryanair in record
        numbers, leaving British Airways floundering as Ryanair flies high as
        the World's Favourite Airline.

        'To celebrate, Ryanair is giving away 6 million FREE* seats (just pay
        £10 taxes and charges), and we advise passengers to log onto
        www.ryanair.com immediately to snap up a bargain'.
