        RYANAIR ANNOUNCES NEW 10 YEAR AGREEMENT WITH BRUSSELS CHARLEROI
                       5 NEW ROUTES AND $240M INVESTMENT

NEW ROUTES FROM BRUSSELS TO FARO, NIMES, MALAGA, SALZBURG, VALENCIA
                     1 MILLION FREE* SEAT SALE TO CELEBRATE

Ryanair, Europe's No. 1 low fares airline today (Wednesday, 14th December 2005)
announced a new 10 year agreement committing it to develop Brussels Charleroi
Airport until 2016. As part of this agreement Ryanair will base a 4th aircraft
in Charleroi, bringing its total investment in aircraft at Brussels Charleroi to
$240M. The airline will open 5 new routes, from Brussels to Faro, Nimes, Malaga,
Salzburg and Valencia from April 2006 onwards, bringing the total number of
Ryanair routes from Brussels Charleroi to 16. These 5 new routes will deliver
another quarter of a million passengers p.a. and bring Ryanair's annual traffic
at Charleroi to 2.3M .

Announcing this new agreement, and Ryanair's increased investment in BSCA,
Michael O'Leary, Ryanair's CEO said:

        "Our new 10 year deal with Brussels Charleroi Airport commits Ryanair to
        invest $240M in new aircraft and deliver 2.3M passengers p.a. These 2.3M
        passengers will save EUR230M annually over the high fares charged at
        Zaventem Airport and based on ACI** figures these passengers will
        generate 2,300 jobs at the airport and in the local Walloon region. In
        addition, visitors brought to the region by Ryanair's low fares will
        spend over EUR200M p.a.

        "In 2001, Ryanair launched its first base in continental Europe at
        Brussels Charleroi and since then it has transformed Charleroi from an
        unknown, unused airfield into the fastest growing airport in Belgium.
        BSCA for its part has responded by recently announcing plans for a new
        terminal capable of handling 5M passengers p.a. which will be opened in
        2007.

        "The passenger growth at Charleroi airport is unrivaled elsewhere in
        Belgium and has been achieved as a result of Ryanair's massive
        investment in aircraft and international advertising to promote low fare
        flights to and from Brussels Charleroi. The recent ill-informed press
        speculation surrounding the current investigation into Promocy is
        completely false and we look forward to co-operating with the Belgian
        authorities on the basis of the following facts:

        - Brussels Charleroi has increased its traffic tenfold since 2001
        - BSCA has developed into a thriving and profitable international
          airport operator
        - Promocy was set up to promote this development of traffic at Brussels
          Charleroi and is funded entirely by Ryanair and airport revenues.
        - Promocy receives/has received no funding from the Walloon region.
        - Any payments made by Promocy to Ryanair are to fund advertising and
          promotional activity of routes from Brussels Charleroi
        - During its 2-yr investigation the EU raised no concerns over the
          funding of Promocy.

        "To celebrate these 5 new routes and the continued growth of Brussels
        Charleroi, Ryanair is giving away 1M FREE* seats on www.ryanair.com
        until midnight Monday".
