Ryanair ready to place more 737 Max orders: O’Leary
Ryanair CE Michael O’Leary is eager to demonstrate his confidence in Boeing and the under-fire 737 Max by being the first to buy more once the aircraft has been cleared to return to service. The carrier is a major customer for the 737. It operates a fleet of 431 737NGs and hold orders for 135 of the Max variant along with 75 options. Ryanair was due to receive its first Max in April and take 5 more during the 2019 summer season. O’Leary said the loss of capacity caused by the Max delivery delay will “cost [Ryanair] about 1m passengers through the summer” and that the next batch of 50 deliveries due from the Q4 of 2019 are not now expected until late this year or early next. O’Leary says that talks with Boeing regarding compensation to cover lost revenue will focus on discounting rather than a cash settlement. <br/>
