Ryanair has announced that it has ordered 300 Boeing 737-MAX-10s to reach 300 million passengers by 2034.
The Irish low-cost company Ryanair revealed earlier this week that it will buy 300 units of the 737-MAX-10 from US manufacturer Boeing, in a deal valued at $40 billion (more than 36 billion euros).
According to the company's statement, the goal is to increase from the current 168 million passengers (at the end of March 2023), to 300 million passengers by 2034, corresponding to an increase of 80% and, in effect, creating more than 10,000 new jobs.
According to the press release, Ryanair will have already confirmed the order for 150 units and, a second phase by option to acquire a further 150 aircraft, to be delivered between 2027 and 2033.
With this renewal of its fleet, Ryanair believes it will "continue to operate as one of the youngest, most fuel-efficient and environmentally sustainable fleets in Europe".
The CEO and president of the North American company, Dave Calhoun, considers that "the Boeing-Ryanair partnership is one of the most productive in the history of commercial aviation, allowing both companies to succeed and expand affordable travel to hundreds of millions of people" since, "almost a quarter of a century after our companies signed our first direct aircraft purchase, this historic agreement will further strengthen our partnership," believes that manager.
For his part, Ryanair group CEO, Michael O'Leary, states that "these new aircraft, with greener, fuel-efficient technology, offer 21% more seats, consume 20% less fuel and are 50% quieter than our B737-NGs". This order, "together with our remaining 'Gamechanger' deliveries, will create 10,000 new jobs for highly paid aviation professionals over the next decade, and these jobs will be located in every major economy in Europe, where Ryanair is currently the No. 1 or No. 2 airline".
