            RYANAIR ANNOUNCES 19th EUROPEAN BASE IN DUSSELDORF WEEZE
                   2M PASSENGERS P.A. AND 2,000 JOBS BY 2008

Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (Tuesday, 6th February 2007)
announced its 19th European base in Dusseldorf Weeze. From June 2007, Ryanair
will invest EUR140M in two new aircraft and 10 routes. Ryanair will deliver 1
million passengers in its first full year, rising to 2 million p.a. from 2008.

These 2 million passengers will create 2,000 local jobs and enable passengers to
fly for a fraction of the high fares charged at Dusseldorf International
airport.

    Destination                             Frequency
    Alghero                                 3 x week
    Alicante                                Daily
    Barcelona                               Daily

    Venice                                  4 x week

Announcing Ryanair's 19th European base, Michael O'Leary, CEO said:

        "Ryanair's 19th base will revolutionise travel in the Dusseldorf area by
        offering passengers real low fares to 10 exciting European destinations.
        Attempts by Dusseldorf International airport and its high fare airlines
        to prevent competition from Ryanair at Dusseldorf Weeze have failed.

        "Ryanair will invest $140 million in Dusseldorf Weeze and will treble
        existing traffic to 2M passengers p.a. by offering more routes, lower
        fares and no fuel surcharges guaranteed. This will deliver a massive
        boost to tourism and create 2,000 new jobs in the Rheinland /
        Niederrhein area."

        "We look forward to offering the 35M German and Dutch consumers who live
        within two hours of our new Dusseldorf Weeze base, unbeatable low fares
        for less than half the price of Lufthansa or Air Berlin.

        "To celebrate the launch of these new routes Ryanair is offering 100,000
        FREE seats from Dusseldorf Weeze for travel until the end of June. These
        bargain summer seats should be booked immediately on www.ryanair.com".
