                            MAJOR SCHEDULED AIRLINE

Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airline, today (24th May 04) was confirmed by
official UK CAA statistics as the most punctual major scheduled airline serving
the UK for the full year 2003.

The CAA 2003 statistics show Ryanair AS No.1 for punctuality, with 81% of all
flights on-time in 2003. British Airways lagged behind in 4th place with over 2
of every 10 flights delayed and Easyjet in 8th place with more than 3 in every
10 flights delayed.

Ryanair's Head of Communications, Paul Fitzsimmons said:
"The official CAA statistics for 2003 confirms what 28 million passengers this
year already know - that when it comes to lowest fares and on-time flights
no-one beats Ryanair.

So if you want to save money, and get there on time - fly Ryanair, Europe's No.1
on-time airline."
