announced 2 new routes from Nantes to Nottingham East Midlands and London

FROM      TO                           STARTS                FREQUENCY
NANTES    SHANNON                      1st November 2005     3 WEEKLY

NANTES    LONDON STANSTED              11th January 2006     DAILY

Michael Cawley, Ryanair's Deputy CEO in Nantes today, said:

        "Ryanair is delighted to be adding 2 new routes at Nantes just 2 months
        after announcing a new route from Nantes to Shannon. The people of
        Nantes will now be able to travel to 3 destinations in the UK and
        Ireland for a fraction of existing fares. Business and tourism in the
        Nantes region will now benefit from an additional 200,000 passengers in
        2006 that will support 200 jobs.

        "Demand for the already announced route from Shannon to Nantes has been
        very strong and so far over 6,000 bookings have been made. To celebrate
        these record bookings and our 2 new routes, Ryanair is running a seat
        sale with 6,000 FREE* seats available from Nantes to Shannon. In
        addition, 20,000 seats will be available from Nantes to Nottingham East
        Midlands and London Stansted for EUR5.99*. This great offer is available
        for booking until midnight 19th September on www.ryanair.com. Demand for
        fares this low will be huge so our advice to passengers is to book
        immediately".
