According to two anonymous sources, Ryanair (FR) is finally finalizing a large-scale aircraft order with Boeing<\/a>. The order for several hundred 737 MAX planes worth billions of dollars could be declared as soon as Tuesday, the sources stated on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Boeing and Ryanair did not provide any comment on the matter. Boeing shares remained unchanged during early afternoon trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ryanair To Place Major Boeing Order<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ryanair, which is the largest budget carrier in Europe, had paused negotiations for purchasing at least 100 Boeing 737 MAX jets and additional options due to a pricing dispute 18 months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to reports, Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary has confirmed that talks for purchasing Boeing 737 MAX jets have resumed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O’Leary mentioned that Ryanair is considering buying the 200-seat 737 MAX 8200 and the 230-seat 737 MAX 10 models. He added that Ryanair would only proceed with a new deal if the pricing is competitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards the end of 2021, Michael O’Leary accused Boeing of attempting to impose an unrealistic price increase, which led to a “marital rift” between the Irish carrier and its long-standing sole supplier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boeing responded by stating that it valued Ryanair’s business, but it had to exercise discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo to buy 20 Wide-Body Airliners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the sources told Livemint<\/em> that \u201cIndiGo is planning to add 15-20 wide-body aircraft <\/strong>to its fleet and has been in talks with aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing for at least a year. The airline is likely to place an order for the planes this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, there was speculation regarding 6E\u2019s entry into the wide-body aircraft segment to cater to long-haul destinations. Still, now the focus is on the order timing for larger planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IndiGo has been in discussions with aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing for at least a year. It is expected to order around 15-20 wide-body aircraft this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth noting that while 6E\u2019s order may not be as large as Air India\u2019s record-breaking order of 470 aircraft. Including 70 wide-body aircraft, the move is significant as it will be the first time IndiGo will order a wide-body airliner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
