                       TO AUTHORISE ROME-ALGHERO FLIGHTS

Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airline today (Wednesday, 20th April 2005)
welcomed the announcement made by ENAC, the Italian Civil Aviation Authority,
which clears the way for Ryanair's low fare flights to commence on the Rome
Ciampino-Alghero (Sardinia) route on the 28th of April as scheduled.
Welcoming the decision by ENAC, Ryanair's Head of Communications, Peter Sherrard
said:

    "We wish to thank Signor Vito Riggio, the President of ENAC, for his
    intervention in this matter. This decision by ENAC now paves the way for
    Ryanair to start flights as scheduled on the 28th April next. The 12,000
    passengers who have already booked to fly with Ryanair on our new low fare
    flights between Sardinia and Rome can now look forward to an unbeatable
    combination of the lowest domestic air fares in Italy and the best
    punctuality on brand new Boeing 737-800 series aircraft.

    "All of us in Ryanair welcome this decision by ENAC, which will benefit tens
    of thousands of Italian consumers".

Ends.                         Wednesday, 20th April 2005
