Ryanair in talks to order 300 aircraft
Low-cost airline hoping to carry 100 million customers by 2012 Ryanair has opened talks with Boeing and Airbus about ordering up to 300 more aircraft in a deal that would make the low-budget carrier more than double the size of British Airways. Ryanair has fared better than most airlines in the recession and has managed to expand its business as passengers shun BA. The low-cost carrier aims to take 100 million customers by 2012 – three times the number flown by BA last year. The Dublin-based airline is considering splitting its plane order into two phases, with the first order comprising 100 aircraft followed by up to 200 more later.
