RYANAIR TO GIVE AWAY 1000 FREE SEATS FOR EVERY
EUR1 MILLION LOST BY EASYJET!
Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airline, today (6th May 03) announced it will
give away 1000 FREE SEATS for every EUR1 Million Easyjet lose when they announce
their half-year results tomorrow (Wednesday 7th May 03).
Announcing details, Ryanair's Head of Communications, Paul Fitzsimmons said:
"Tomorrow, Easyjet is expected to join the ranks of the other high fare,
loss-making airlines. So whether they lose EUR 50 Million, EUR60 Million or
EUR70+ Million, their loss will be the public's gain, as Ryanair will match each
EUR1 Million loss with 1000 FREE SEATS (just pay the taxes)!
Easyjet can't match Ryanair's low fares, can't match Ryanair's No. 1 punctuality
record and just like the rest of the high-fare airlines, they can't make money
either."
This offer is available for tomorrow only(WEDNESDAY 7TH MAY 2003) at Europe's
biggest travel website: www.ryanair.com
