                RYANAIR LEAVES EASYJET WAY BEHIND ON PUNCTUALITY
                        (JUST LIKE EVERY WEEK OF 2003!)

Ryanair, Europe's No.1 low fares airline, today (Friday, 19th March 2004)
published its on-time performance comparisons against Easyjet for January and
February 2004.

Ryanair easily beat Easyjet in the punctuality stakes for 52 weeks in a row in
2003, and again for the first 9 weeks of 2004 - Ryanair leaves Easyjet way
behind.

Ryanair's Head of Communications, Paul Fitzsimmons said:

        "Punctuality of our flights is a top priority" claims Easyjet* - what a
        joke! Ryanair's punctuality has beaten Easyjet's every week of 2003 and
        every week of 2004 so far. It seems that Easyjet are always late when
        compared to Ryanair.

        "So if you want to save time and money then fly Ryanair and avoid the
        often delayed Easyjet.

        "Easyjet can't match Ryanair's low fares, and can't match Ryanair's
        on-time performance either!"
