         RYANAIR CALLS ON AER LINGUS TO REMOVE RIP-OFF FUEL SURCHARGES


Ryanair,  Europe's largest low fares airline,  today  (Wednesday,  9th May 2007)
called on Aer Lingus to remove  its  unfair  fuel  surcharge  of EUR100  return.
Today, Aer Lingus announced that it was increasing its rip-off fuel surcharge by
over 40% from EUR70 to EUR100 return.

Ryanair is the only  European  airline to  guarantee  no fuel  surcharges  - not
today, not tomorrow, not ever.

Speaking today, Ryanair's Head of Communications Peter Sherrard said:

     "Today's  unjustified  40%  increase  in Aer Lingus'  fuel  surcharges
     further highlights the savings for consumers, which would follow if Ryanair
     succeeds in acquiring Aer Lingus. As Ryanair's offer document confirmed, we
     plan to remove  these unfair and  unjustified  fuel  surcharges  as well as
     reducing Aer Lingus's short-haul airfares.  Aer Lingus' plan is to increase
     fares and further raise these unfair and unjustified fuel surcharges.

     "Passengers who wish to avoid these high fares and fuel surcharges can
     book one of Ryanair's 10 million seats from EUR10 one-way  (including taxes
     and charges) with a 'no fuel surcharge guarantee".

Ends.                                Wednesday, 9th May 2007
