                  C.A.A. CONFIRMS RYANAIR NO.1 FOR PUNCTUALITY
                               APRIL - JUNE 2004.

Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airline, today (Wednesday, 20th October 04) was
confirmed as the No.1 major airline for punctuality by the UK Civil Aviation
Authority (CAA) for the 2nd quarter of 2004.

The UK official statistics confirmed Ryanair as the No. 1 major European Airline
for punctuality with 85% of Ryanair flights arriving on time during April - June
2004. Recently released CAA annual punctuality statistics also confirmed Ryanair
the most punctual major airline for 2003 and for the first quarter of 2004.

Commenting today, Ryanair's Head of Communications, Paul Fitzsimmons said:

        "Ryanair's unbeatable record for punctuality is continuing throughout
        2004. The CAA official statistics for all of last year and this year so
        far confirm that Ryanair is the No.1 major airline when it comes to
        punctuality.

        This year Ryanair will carry over 27 million passengers on 186 routes
        across 17 European countries, and our passengers are benefiting from
        Europe's lowest fares and best on-time record."
