Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline, today (Thursday, 8th March 2007)
announced a new route from London Stansted to Maribor, Slovenia's second largest

40,000 passengers in the first year of operation. This brings the total number
of low fare routes on offer from London Stansted to 96 and the number of
countries in the Ryanair network to 25.

Speaking today, Ryanair's Head of Sales and Marketing, Sinead Finn said:

        "We are delighted that passengers will now enjoy Europe's lowest fares
        to Slovenia. Maribor is a beautiful medieval city sitting on the
        foothills of the Pohorje mountains. The area is full of vineyards,
        beautiful walking and cycling paths and is famous for its farmhouse home
        cooking. During the winter the city is an ideal gateway Slovenia's best
        skiing centres.

        "This year, Ryanair will carry 16m passengers on its 96 routes from
        London Stansted. This will deliver a tourism spend of GBP2.5bn in the
        London area while affording massive savings for Londoners compared to
        the high fares of Easyjet and British Airways.

        "This new route goes on sale today at www.ryanair.com with fares from
        only GBP0.01* and we are advising passengers to book now as demand for
