Ryanair
has ordered 10 Next-Generation
Boeing 737-800's.
The order, valued at $705 million at list prices, stems from options contained in a previous purchase contract. Deliveries for this order begin in 2008.
The airplanes will be fitted with Blended Winglets, which reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency by 3 to 5%.
Ryanair recently completed its Boeing 737-200 replacement program, and today operates one of the youngest aircraft fleets in Europe, composed
entirely of 737-800s.
Boeing and Ryanair celebrated the delivery of Ryanair's 100th Next-Generation 737 in March.
The airline is the largest European operator of 737s, and second in the world after Southwest Airlines.
