RYANAIR ANNOUNCES NEW SERVICES
FOUR DAILY FLIGHTS ON DUBLIN-EDINBURGH
Ryanair, Europe's largest Low Fares Airline today (12 July) announces its arrival on the Dublin-Edinburgh route. Starting on Thursday 30th August next Ryanair will operate up to four return daily flights between Edinburgh and Dublin, marking the arrival of really low fares in this marketplace for the first time. Ryanair also confirms that this Autumn its successful schedule on the Dublin-Glasgow (Prestwick) route will increase with the addition of an extra fourth flight on Fridays and Sundays to cater for the weekend leisure market.
Bookings can be made from today (on www.ryanair.com) (http://www.ryanair.com)) for the Edinburgh flights which begin on Thursday 30th August. Ryanair's fares on the Dublin-Edinburgh route will start from just £29.99 return (including taxes), and all seats on all flights for the first 29 days will be sold at this lowest £29.99 return fare. Thereafter Ryanair's lowest fare of £29.99 return will be guaranteed on at least 70% of all seats, and our highest fare on the route will be just £99.99 return (including taxes). Ryanair confirms that its lowest price guarantee will also apply, to ensure that passengers will always get the lowest fare only by flying on Ryanair between Edinburgh and Dublin.
Ryanair will fly four times each weekday to Edinburgh, and the schedule (from 30th August to 27th October) is as follows:
Dublin-Edinburgh
FR 812 0650-0750 1 2 3 4 5 - -
FR 814 1025-1125 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Michael O'Leary, Chief Executive of Ryanair launching the new services in Dublin today. He said:
"Two weeks ago another high fares British Airline announced that it was going to enter the Edinburgh-Dublin market providing much higher fares and what they called "competition" to Ryanair. Now they should know better. Everyone knows that Ryanair loves competition, and any airline that wants to challenge us in the Dublin or the Irish market must actually sell low fares and not just talk about it.
We look forward to giving our Irish and Edinburgh passengers not just a choice over the two other high fares airlines, but also really low fares. Our lowest fares to Glasgow and Edinburgh are just £29.99 return including taxes which are over 35% lower than the other's so called low fare of £45 return. Ryanair's highest fare of £99.99 return (including taxes) is almost 40% lower than the £160 return high fare charged by the others.
In Ryanair we just don't talk the talk, we walk the walk. If any so called "low cost" imitator wants to throw down a challenge to Ryanair on any of our routes, anywhere, anytime, and any price then they may rest assured that we will meet every such challenge with more flights, guaranteed lower fares at every price level and many thousands more seats every day at these lower prices.
The difference between Ryanair and every other so called "low cost" airline is that only Ryanair guarantees the lowest airfares. On every route where we compete with Go or Easyjet or anybody else Ryanair's fares are lower, and Ryanair's passengers make significantly greater savings by flying with Ryanair. Ryanair is the largest low fares airline in Ireland, Britain and Europe. Go is just another higher fare airline. When it was owned by British Airways it was unable to match Ryanair's fares, and now that it is backed by "3i's" it still won't be able to match Ryanair's airfares. Let the competition begin. You'll never beat the Irish…(well not for low fares anyway).
Ryanair's flights to Edinburgh start on the 30th of August next, full details of the schedules and our lowest fare guarantee are available now, online at www.ryanair.com (http://www.ryanair.com) - flights can also be booked by calling 01-6097800 (Dublin) or 08701569569 (U.K. only). Everybody should now click or call today because these guaranteed £29.99 return seats will be selling like hot cakes, because they are - by far and away - the lowest airfares between Edinburgh and Dublin, and between Glasgow and Dublin.
