RYANAIR HAS ORDERED 75 more Boeing 737 Max aircraft in anticipation of their return to service in Europe.
The deal means that Ryanair now has 210 firm orders for the plane to be delivered between spring 2021 and December 2024.

Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said the company was “confident” that customers would enjoy the new aircraft.

He said the new plane would allow Ryanair to offer lower fares for the next decade.

Boeing President and CEO Dave Calhoun said “Boeing remains focused on safely returning the entire fleet of 737s to service and delivering the backlog of aircraft to Ryanair and our other customers in the New Year.”
“We strongly believe in this aircraft and will continue to work to regain the trust of all of our customers,” said Calhoun.
