  RYANAIR TO RESTART LOW FARE FLIGHTS ON THE STRASBOURG-LONDON ROUTE AT EUR9.00
                             FARES ON 29TH JAN '04
                      - IF THE NANCY COURT APPEAL SUCCEEDS

Ryanair, France's largest low fares airline today (16th Dec 03) confirmed that
it would restart low fare flights between Strasbourg and London if, as
indicated, the Court of Appeal in Nancy hands down its decision before the end
of December, and if this decision follows the advice of the Commissaire de
Government to reject Britair's case.

These daily flights will start on Thursday the 29th of January, with one way
fares between Strasbourg and London from just EUR9 one way (plus taxes), thereby
ending the high fare Air France monopoly which has caused traffic on the route
to collapse from almost 20,000 per month this Summer to just over 1,000 in
October, the first month of Air France's high fares services.

Ryanair again welcomed the findings of the Court appointed Commissaire de
Government, who in his submission to the Appeal Court declared;

 1. That the Administrative Tribunal in Strasbourg did not have the competence
    to make a finding on the commercial agreement between Ryanair and Strasbourg
    Airport.
 2. That having investigated the terms of the agreement between Ryanair,
    Strasbourg Airport and the CCI, he found that they did not constitute State
    Aid.
 3. He recommended that the Britair case be thrown out, and that costs be
    awarded against Britair.

Ryanair is hopeful that the Appeal Court will support these findings which will
allow the restoration of low fare flight at Strasbourg, by rejecting the Britair
case before the end of December.
Mr Jim Callaghan, Ryanair's Head of Regulatory Affairs said;

    "We have been heartened by the support for our case from the Commissaire de
    Government, and also by the hundreds of ordinary consumers who turned out in
    Nancy last week to support not just Ryanair but the return of low fare air
    travel to Strasbourg.

    "We again renew our promise to our supporters that Ryanair will restore low
    fare flights to Strasbourg if this appeal is successful. By committing to a
    relaunch date of 29 January and the relaunch fare of just EUR9 one way (plus
    taxes) we are fulfilling the promises we made to all of our customers in
    Strasbourg.
