RYANAIR BECOMES LEAD OPERATOR OF “GAMECHANGER” AIRCRAFT, WHICH FIRST DELIVERS IN 2019 & WILL FACILITATE GROWTH FROM 112M CUSTOMERS IN 2019 TO 150M BY 2024
Ryanair, the world’s biggest international scheduled airline, today (8^th Sept) signed an agreement with Boeing to purchase up to 200 new Boeing 737 MAX 200 “gamechanger” aircraft (100 firm & 100 options).  When finalised and all options exercised, this deal will be worth over $22bn at current list prices.  Ryanair becomes the lead customer for this new aircraft which for Ryanair will feature 197 seats (8 more than Ryanair’s existing 737-800s) and new CFM LEAP-1B engines, which combined with aerodynamic improvements will reduce fuel consumption by up to 18% in Ryanair’s configuration and reduce operational noise emissions by 40%. This will further reduce Ryanair’s industry leading low costs, and these savings will be passed on via lower fares to Ryanair’s customers, which will now grow from 82m in 2014 to over 150m customers p.a. by the end of the delivery stream in FY2024.
