                   RYANAIR TO LAUNCH 70 NEW ROUTES IN OCTOBER

                        MASSIVE EXPANSION ACROSS EUROPE


Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline, today (Tuesday, 2nd October 2007)
announced that it will launch 70 new routes across Europe during October. This
October revolution, which will send high fares all over Europe tumbling to the
ground, includes new routes from Barcelona, Dublin, Dusseldorf, East Midlands,
Liverpool, Madrid, Pisa and Stockholm and the opening of two new bases in
Belfast and Valencia.

Welcoming the new routes, Ryanair's Head of Communications, Peter Sherrard said:

        "These 70 new routes will deliver Europe's lowest fares to over 5
        million additional passengers next year and will provide a massive boost
        to tourism across Europe. To celebrate this low fare revolution, fares
        on all of Ryanair's 550 European routes have been reduced to just
        EUR12.99, so we advise passengers to log onto www.ryanair.com
        immediately to snap up a bargain."
