                               Ryanair Statement

Ryanair this morning (Wednesday, 18th January 2006) confirmed that its schedule
of flights was operating normally, on-time and with no cancellations. Ryanair
criticised a false rumour which emanated from one of the London investment banks
shortly after 7.30am, which suggested that Ryanair's flight schedule was subject
to widespread cancellation. This rumour was untrue and could have been verified
by that bank, had they made any attempt to contact the airline directly, or had
they checked Ryanair's flight information page on www.ryanair.com, which
confirmed that all Ryanair's early morning departures from London Luton and
Stansted airport had departed as normal and on-time.

Ryanair regrets that such a false and inaccurate rumour would emanate from a
respected London investment bank without any attempt made to verify the facts
either directly with the company or on Ryanair's website.

ENDS.                                           Wednesday, 18th January 2006
