                Brussels-Charleroi - Barcelona-Girona forEUR39.99

           and celebrated 3 million passengers at Brussels-Charleroi

Ryanair,  Europe's No.1 low fares  airlines,  today  (Wednesday,  19 March 2003)
announced the opening of a new route between  Belgium and Spain with a new daily
route between  Brussels-Charleroi  and Barcelona-Girona with fares starting from
EUR39.99  one-way  including  taxes.  The  Company  also  celebrated  3  million
passengers at Brussels-Charleroi.

Announcing details of the new route, Ryanair's Chief Executive Michael O'Leary
said:


        "Ryanair's low fares arrived in Brussels in 1997. Once the public
        realised how much they were saving compared to the High Fares airlines
        like Lufthansa, SN Brussels and British Airways we opened a base here in
        2001. From today, there's even more opportunities to save money with our
        new route with passengers saving over 90% on the SN Brussels high fare
        cost to Barcelona.

        "Since our arrival, we've opened 10 routes from Brussels-Charleroi to
        key destinations across Europe including London-Stansted, Rome,
        Carcassonne and Dublin. We've just carried our 3 millionth passenger
        through Brussels-Charleroi, and we're bringing 900,000 visitors to
        Belgium per annum.

        "But it's not just the routes that make us the most popular low-fares
        airline in Europe. We are the Number 1 airline for flights being on
        time, so passengers know when they fly with us they will get to their
        destination on time. And we set our own exacting customer standards,
        such as responding to customer complaints in 7 days, and publish our
        performance - something the high-fare airlines are afraid to do. All
        this while continuing to provide the lowest fares in Europe".
