Ryanair has ended talks with Boeing on a major new order for Boeing 737 jets due to a disagreement over pricing, the airline said in a statement today. "Negotiations with Boeing for a MAX10 order have ended without any agreement on pricing," Ryanair said.
Ryanair and Boeing had been in discussions about a large follow on order for Boeing MAX10 aircraft over the past 10 months. However, last week it became clear that the pricing gap between the partners could not be closed and accordingly, both sides have agreed to waste no more time on these negotiations, it added.
Ryanair is already the largest European customer for the 737 MAX, with 210 firm orders of the 197-seat MAX 8-200 model. These deliveries will see Ryanair's fleet grow to over 600
