                     AER LINGUS ARE STILL HIDING THE TRUTH

                     AND STILL RIPPING OFF THE IRISH PUBLIC

Wednesday, 14th May 2003 - The Chief Executive of Aer Lingus, Willie Walsh, who
recently confirmed that Aer Lingus has been ripping off the Irish public for
years - yesterday complained that Ryanair's estimate for Aer Lingus's average
fare wasn't correct. He wants Ryanair to compare average fares on a like for
like basis, in which they claim;

Michael O'Leary, the Chief Executive of Ryanair has written again this morning
to Willie Walsh (see attached) challenging him to provide an auditors
confirmation of Aer Lingus's scheduled revenues for the last 12 months. If
Ryanair receives this information we will amend our ads to contain an exact like
for like comparison. Of course this would not be necessary if Willie Walsh and
the Directors of Aer Lingus hadn't hidden this information in Aer Lingus's
recent annual accounts



         "Segmental disclosure of turnover by source and destination are not
        provided as the Directors are of the opinion that disclosure of such
        information would be prejudicial to the interests of the group".

Ryanair also challenged Aer Lingus to publish their statistics for customer
service. For each of the last three months when the Association of European
Airlines has published passenger service statistics for on-time flights, flight
cancellations and lost bags, Aer Lingus has been the only member airline to
refuse to disclose its performance. These figures confirm that Ryanair offers
the No.1 punctuality, No.1 rate of flight completions and is No.1 for fewest
lost bags, whereas Aer Lingus - as usual - is still charging high fares and
providing poor customer service.

Responding to Aer Lingus's challenge today, Ryanair's Chief Executive, Michael
O'Leary said;

        "It's time for Willie Walsh and Aer Lingus to come clean and stop hiding
        the truth. As Willie himself confirmed Aer Lingus have been ripping off
        the Irish public for years and the rip off continues. They won't reveal
        their average air fares precisely because they are so high, and they
        won't reveal their on-time performance because it is so low.

        "Ryanair continues to beat the pants off Aer Lingus for low fares,
        on-time flights and No.1 customer service. Aer Lingus don't want the
        truth, because Aer Lingus can't handle the truth".

Ends.                                      Wednesday, 14th May 2003
