                   LUFTHANSA INCREASES FUEL SURCHARGES BY 21%

              EUROPE'S FUEL SURCHARGING AIRLINES SET TO FOLLOW SUIT

Ryanair,  Europe's  largest low fares airline today  (Tuesday,  11th March 2008)
predicted  that  Europe's  high  fare  airlines  will  begin  another  round  of
unjustified fuel surcharge increases following Lufthansa's decision yesterday to
increase its short haul fuel surcharges by 21%. Lufthansa now charges passengers
EUR17 per short haul flight and EUR77 on long haul  flights  despite the fact it
is hedged at well  below  current  market  rates  for oil.  Ryanair  is the only
airline in Europe to guarantee passengers no fuel surcharges ever.

Speaking today, Ryanair's Head of Communications, Peter Sherrard said,

"Passengers can expect another raft of unjustified fuel surcharge increases from
Air France,  Alitalia,  British  Airways and Iberia in the coming weeks.  All of
these  airlines are hedged at well below current market rates for oil but all of
them charge  unjustified fuel levies and will use every possible  opportunity to
increase their  surcharges.  Lufthansa  increased its fuel surcharges by another
21% yesterday  and it will not be long before  Europe's  other fuel  surcharging
high fare airlines follow suit.

"The  only  way for  passengers  to avoid  this  fuel  surcharge  scam is to fly
Ryanair, Europe's only airline to guarantee no fuel surcharges ever".
