Ryanair Open to Talks with Airbus on Aircraft Order
According to the Irish LCC’s CEO, the European airframer has offered early 2025 narrowbody production slots.

Ryanair Group CEO Michael O’Leary denied the low-cost carrier (LCC) has entered active discussions with Airbus on a large aircraft order, though he said he would be open to talks if “the price is right.” Speaking with AIN on the sidelines of the aviation summit organized by Airlines for Europe (A4E) on Tuesday in Brussels, O’Leary said Airbus had solicited the company and asked about its potential interest in single-aisle aircraft with early 2025 production slots. “They called us two weeks ago on Friday,” O’Leary said, pointing out that “it has to take a lot for Airbus to contact us.” Ryanair, Europe’s largest LCC, deploys a single Boeing 737-800 fleet fitted with 189 seats, except for its Austrian subsidiary, Laudamotion, which operates A320-200s.
