Low-cost Ryanair Steps Up to Private Charter Role
European low-cost airline Ryanair has converted a Boeing 737-700 into a 60-seat all-business-class charter configuration.

European low-cost carrier Ryanair last week made a surprise move into the private charter sector, announcing that it has reconfigured the cabin of its high-density Boeing 737-700 into a 60-seat format that will be offered for corporate or sports-team bookings. The aircraft in question is the airline’s only -700 model, and the 16-year-old aircraft, originally fitted with 148 seats, was acquired last year from LAN Colombia to be used for crew training. The rest of its fleet consists of -800 models, and the airline also has the new 737 Max on order.
