               RYANAIR CUTS 12 FLIGHTS PER WEEK AT NEWQUAY AFTER
                CORNWALL COUNTY COUNCIL'S GBP 5 'ANTI VISITOR' TAX

Ryanair Europe's No. 1 low fares airline today (Wednesday, 31st August 2005)
announced the withdrawal of 12 flights per week or 100,000 passengers per annum
at Newquay airport following the decision by Cornwall County Council to impose a
GBP5 surcharge on passengers and visitors to the region.

Speaking this morning, Michael Cawley, Deputy CEO of Ryanair, said:

        "Ryanair has always made it very clear to Cornwall County Council that
        their airport and region is part of a competitive price sensitive market
        that must compete with 84 other low fare destinations from London
        Stansted. Under the right conditions this market is capable of
        delivering huge economic benefits to the region and in excess of 200,000
        passengers per annum.

        "Cornwall County Council's ridiculous decision to introduce a GBP 5 tax 
        per departing passenger would result in increased revenue of GBP250,000 
        for the Council and a reduced income for the region of GBP 10.5M leaving
        Cornwall worse off to the effect of GBP10M per annum in terms of
        expenditure by visitors brought by Ryanair from London.

        "With this type of misguided economics is it any wonder that regional
        tourism in the UK is suffering. The benefits which incoming flights can
        deliver to regions such as Cornwall are incalculable and far exceed the
        derisory income, which will be derived by the Council as a result of
        this tax.

        "In the light of the inevitable reduction in demand, which will ensue
        from this increase in the cost of travel, Ryanair has decided to reduce
        its schedule to a daily flight and will obviously keep this under review
        with the possibility of further reductions in the future if demand
        deteriorates further".

Ends.                         Wednesday, 31st August 2005
