Irish low-cost airline Ryanair has been in talks with aircraft manufacturer Boeing for a few days about a possible bulk order for the B737 Max 10. About two years ago, these were canceled without result.

The background at the time was that no agreement was reached on the price. Now it looks like the low coster is willing to put more money on the table. In 2020, Ryanair ordered over 200 Boeing 737 Max 200s and is said to have received a particularly low price. Negotiations began in the hope that a bargain could also be found for the larger Max-10 model. However, there was no conclusion.

However, Ryanair has not lost interest and is said to have approached Boeing again. In the past, company boss Michael O'Leary accused the US manufacturer of "excessive prices" and delivery delays, among other things. Airbus looked around for alternatives, because the subsidiary Lauda Europe operates the A320 machine type. So far, no agreement has been reached with the Europeans either, which is why the path leads back to Boeing.

Recently, Michael O'Leary said the Americans had made "reasonable efforts" to work off the backlog. In view of the disrupted supply chains, the manager was understanding. With O'Leary pleased with Boeing's progress, there is clearly a possibility of a new multi-billion dollar Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft order on the horizon for Ryanair.
