                  RYANAIR: 1st AIRLINE TO CARRY 4M PAX A MONTH

                       CELEBRATES WITH 4M FREE SEAT SALE

           NEW ROUTES & MORE FREQUENCIES FROM DUBLIN FROM SUMMER 2007

Ryanair, the World's favourite airline today (Monday, 4th September 2006)
confirmed that it had carried a record 4M passengers during the month of August,
making Ryanair the first airline to carry more than 4M international passengers
in 1 month. To mark this new record, Ryanair is giving away 4,000,000 FREE seats
on its 371 European routes over the next seven days.

Ryanair now carries:

      - Almost the entire Irish population in 1 month
      - More passengers per month than British Airways' 3M plus
      - Half of Aer Lingus's annual 8M traffic in one month

Today, Ryanair also announced more new routes and frequencies from Dublin to
Europe for summer 2007. From February next, Ryanair will launch new routes from
Dublin to Malta, Stockholm and the Canary Islands as well as increased (double)
frequencies from Dublin to Berlin, Rome, Malaga and Faro. This will bring
Ryanair's leadership over Aer Lingus on routes from Dublin to Europe into line
with routes from Dublin to the UK where Ryanair presently offers twice as many
destinations as Aer Lingus.

     NEW ROUTES FROM SUMMER 2007

DUBLIN                      MALTA
DUBLIN                      STOCKHOLM
DUBLIN                      CANARY ISLANDS

    INCREASED FREQUENCIES FROM SUMMER 2007

DUBLIN - BERLIN              Daily to double daily
DUBLIN - ROME                Daily to double daily
DUBLIN - MALAGA              5 per week to 8 per week
DUBLIN - FARO                3 per week to 7 per week

Speaking today, Michael O'Leary, Ryanair's CEO said:

        "For the lowest fares Ryanair is No.1 and when it comes to NO FARES, we
        leave other airlines on the ground. Other airlines might talk low fares,
        but only Ryanair actually delivers them and as this fantastic 4,000,000
        FREE seat sale demonstrates - it's no fares!

        "Our new routes and doubled frequencies from Dublin will extend
        Ryanair's leadership over Aer Lingus. Where there is a choice passengers
        always prefer Ryanair's low fare, on-time services to Aer Lingus' high
        fare usually late flights. These new routes will replicate between
        Dublin and Europe the clear preference that Irish passengers and
        visitors have already shown for Ryanair over Aer Lingus between Ireland
        and the UK where choice has existed for many years. Aer Lingus'
        inability to compete will consign it to a future role of high cost niche
        market regional carrier, as Ryanair strengthens its position as
        Ireland's national airline.


        "There has never been a better time to snap up a FREE flight on any of
        Ryanair's 371 routes for travel up until March 2007. Passengers who want
        to book a FREE flight should log on now to www.ryanair.com as these 4M
        FREE seats will not last long".
