RYANAIR APOLOGY

TO AER LINGUS PASSENGERS FOR FUEL SURCHARGES AND HIGH FARES!

94 ADDITIONAL RYANAIR FLIGHTS FROM DUBLIN IN AUGUST TO APOLOGISE

DUBLIN TO ALGHERO, BIARRITZ, FARO, KAUNAS, MALAGA, MURCIA, NANTES & REUS

Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline today (Friday, 6th July 2007) apologised to Irish passengers for Aer Lingus’ failure to reduce its high fares and scrap fuel surcharges.

Today is Aer Lingus’ AGM and although Ryanair is a 25% shareholder and has called many times for the removal of Aer Lingus’ fuel surcharges and reduction of its high fares, it remains powerless. Ryanair had guaranteed to lower Aer Lingus’ high fares and remove its fuel surcharges if its bid was successful.

Speaking today, Ryanair’s Head of Communications, Peter Sherrard, said:

“Sadly, Aer Lingus is keeping its fares at twice the price of Ryanair’s and its fuel surcharges at €50. They haven’t listened to a word Ryanair has said and all we can say to Aer Lingus passengers is ‘Sorry’.

“Thankfully, every cloud has a silver lining and Ryanair, Ireland’s real National Airline, which guarantees the lowest fares and no fuel surcharges ever, is adding 94 additional flights from Dublin to Alghero, Biarritz, Faro, Kaunas, Malaga, Murcia, Nantes, Reus and Rzeszow, to meet unprecedented demand during the month of August.

“These new flights go on sale today. Ryanair’s fares to Europe are less than half the price of Aer Lingus’ so we advise passengers to snap up their half price bargains straight away on http://www.ryanair.com”.
