Ryanair agrees to buy 25 more Boeing 737 MAX planes
Ryanair has agreed to buy a further 25 Boeing 737 MAX planes, worth $3b at list prices, lifting its order of the planemaker’s flagship short-haul plane model to 135, the two companies said Tuesday. The carrier, which is the largest operator of Boeing planes in Europe, purchased 100 737 MAX planes in 2014 and took out options on 100 more. Ryanair said the order leaves it with 75 more options. It purchased 10 additional MAX planes in June last year, which were on top of the 2014 order. CE Michael O’Leary in March said he expected to exercise “pretty much all” of its options. Ryanair has dubbed the MAX a “game changer” for its business, due to a fuel consumption improvement it says could be up to 16% and a greater number of seats. The configuration Ryanair has ordered has 197 seats compared to 189 in its current fleet of 737s. <br/>
