Ryanair Orders Up To 300 Boeing 737 MAX Jets in Record $40 Billion Deal
- Ryanair is close to signing an order for up to 300 Boeing 737 MAX jets, including 150 firm orders for the 737 MAX 10, in a deal worth $40 billion.
- The order will allow Ryanair to nearly double its traffic to 300 million passengers per year and create 10,000 jobs by 2034.
- The deal marks an end to an 18-month dispute between Ryanair and Boeing over aircraft delivery delays and pricing.
- Ryanair selected the largest version of the 737 MAX, which will have 21% more seats but burn 20% less fuel than Ryanair's current 737s.
- Ryanair expects to take delivery of the planes between 2027 and 2033.
