           CELEBRATE WITH 1 MILLION FREE SEATS* ON ALL RYANAIR ROUTES

Ryanair, Europe's No. 1 low fares airline, today (Thursday, 8th December 2005)
announced 5 new routes from the UK. Between 17th Feb and 31st March next year,
Ryanair will start flights from London Stansted to Balaton in Hungary, Lamezia
and Parma in Italy, and Vitoria in Spain. In addition, Ryanair will also start
flights from London Luton to Brest in France. These are all new destinations and
with Ryanair's first ever route to Hungary, the number of countries served by
Ryanair rises to 22.

Announcing these 5 new routes and a 1 M free seats sale in London today,
Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary said:

        "With these 5 new routes Ryanair will serve 90 destinations from London
        Stansted and 12 destinations from London Luton and will continue to
        carry more passengers than BA on their entire worldwide network. British
        passengers and visitors continue to switch away from British Airways'
        rip-off fuel surcharges and high fares in favour of Ryanair's low fares
        and "no surcharge" guarantee.

        seats* on all of our routes. These seats are available this week only at
