Ryanair has just announced its biggest aircraft order ever… I guess Boeing was willing to cut the airline a deal.

I think you overstate the amount of a bind Boeing was in here.
The max delays are on a few frames for the rest of the year. Compensation from that will barely move the needle.
Ryanair certainly has paid higher than they would’ve a year ago. Slots are selling out on the max program. And a slot is a lot irrespective of the variant
Agree, I don't know if the price was above what they could've gotten a year ago, but it certainly wasn't better, and overall terms probably aren't better either.
Boeing's been doing pretty well lately, and at this point in time there's no reason for them to make concessions even to such a major client, not to mention O'Leary has been acting a bit capricious past few years.
@Ben, a minor typo in the story. The second section is titled - Did Ryanair “got”. It should be Did Ryanair “get”.
for all naysayers about Ryanair...check the facts...It is the most profitable airline in the world. It starts with buying airframes well.
lol Ryanair is the Air Canada of Europe when it comes to density. Air Canada flys 777-300 with 450 seats 🙂
Maybe an Opportunity for Qatar Airways to dump and get out of the 737 MAX-10 which was a last-resort order after the Airbus fiasco and that they probably do not want anymore. (Also, it would be a bonanza for the seat manufacturers).
Given the likes of BA actually deliver a lower seat pitch (and WORSE IT / comms) at a FAR higher price, think that's industry wide
A good reason not to fly them. They are now on my permanent do not fly list due to this, and other factors with them last summer. I actually enjoyed flying BA intra Europe. So that will be the airline of choice from now on.
EZY has 321s at 235 and Wizz at 240. Pax complaining about density should know RYR is maybe even wider than other carriers
wouldn't travel with Ryanair anyway or any airline flying the Max so I guess this comment is irrelevant
We have being flying with Ryanair for over 10 years..Never been a problem as long as you do what they ask. We live in Tenerife and during covid they were one of the main stays from here to the UK. There pricing is very good. I know they are like a bus in the Sky but the price reflects all...Good job Ryanair.. laurie.
