                                NEW ROUTES BLITZ

                        BIGGEST EVER EUROPEAN EXPANSION -

                         50 NEW RYANAIR ROUTES FOR 2008

Ryanair,  Europe's largest low fares airline today (Tuesday, 18th December 2007)
announced new routes from 6 British Airports, Birmingham,  Edinburgh, Liverpool,
London,  Manchester and Newquay as part of its biggest ever European  expansion,
which sees 50 new European routes in 2008,  including 3 new airports,  Angouleme
(France),  Arad and Constanta  (Romania).  This brings Ryanair's network to over
600 routes for Summer 2008.

Announcing this expansion, Ryanair's CEO Michael O'Leary, said:

          "Next  year  almost  60  million   passengers   will  enjoy  Ryanair's
          guaranteed  lowest  fares  across  Europe.  Passengers  at 15  of  our
          European bases are already set to benefit from this expansion,  with a
          total of 50 new routes already  announced for 2008. We look forward in
          2008 to guaranteeing the lowest fares for even more European consumers
          as they save EUR6bn with  Ryanair  compared to the high fares and fuel
          surcharges levied by Europe's flag carriers.

          "To  celebrate  the  roll  out  of  Ryanair's  largest  ever  European
          expansion,  we are  releasing 2 million  seats across our 605 European
          routes for just GBP10/EUR10. This offer must end at midnight Thursday,
          so we advise  passengers  to go  straight to  www.ryanair.com  because
          these bargains will be snapped up in record time".
