Boeing’s 737 Max program received a major boost Thursday with a milestone order from Ryanair for 75 more of what the manufacturer now calls the 737-8-200, increasing the European LCC’s Max order book for the high-density, 197-seat variant to 210. Signed during an online press briefing from Boeing offices in Washington, D.C., the contract calls for deliveries to start early in 2021 and run until December 2024.
