Comparison of Stats.-Easyjet

 EASYJET CAN'T MATCH RYANAIR'S FARES AND CAN'T MATCH RYANAIR'S ON-TIMES EITHER!


Ryanair, Europe's only low fares airline today (Thursday, 9th January 2003)
published improved customer service statistics for December 2002, a month during
which Ryanair's traffic increased by 64% over the corresponding month in the
previous year.

Ryanair continue to be the only European airline that publishes its customer
service statistics on a monthly basis, and again calls on its competitor
airlines to publish theirs, which would demonstrate that Ryanair provides not
just the lowest fares in Europe but also the best package of customer service in
terms of on-times, complaints and lost baggage.

Ryanair also drew attention to the fact that its on-time performance continues
to be significantly better than that of Easyjet, although in each of the last 4
weeks Easyjet has mysteriously failed to disclose its punctuality figures, which
leads Ryanair to believe that Easyjet now realise that they can't beat Ryanair's
prices and they can't beat Ryanair's punctuality.

Ryanair's Head of Communications, Paul Fitzsimmons, today said:

        'Ryanair is the only European airline which publishes its customer
        service statistics on a monthly basis. It is regrettable that Easyjet
        has mysteriously failed to publish its punctuality statistics for each
        of the last 4 weeks, and we now call on them to do so.

        'It would appear that Easyjet is unable to match Ryanair's prices 
        (Easyjet's fares are on average 60% higher than those of Ryanair), 
        and it now appears that Easyjet can't match Ryanair's punctuality 
        either.

        'These statistics continue to highlight why Ryanair's traffic numbers
        are growing at 35% per annum - because we provide what customers really
        want - the lowest air fares in Europe and the No1 customer service
        package as well!'
