in March, 1 in April and 2 in May.

Ryanair have exercised these 5 Boeing 737-800 options valued at over $286m in
order to continue to grow its pan-European route network utilising the lowest
per seat operating cost aircraft.

        'The Boeing 737-800 has the best technical reliability and insures that
        Ryanair is the number one on-time major airline in Europe. It has the
        lowest unit operating cost and the addition of these five aircraft will
        continue to enable Ryanair to develop more new routes across Europe and
        bring low fares to many more European consumers.'
