Ryanair the super low cost airline that runs in Europe is in the market for 300 aircraft to add to its growing fleet. Ryanair is known to be the southwest of Europe but even cheaper! Their famous 5 pound tickets or about $7 can get you up to 500 miles. Their also famous seat give aways have made them very popular with customers. However be warned, this is an absolutely no frill airline. Complain about service here? On Ryanair everything, is charged, and I mean everything. Yes a cup water is 2 pounds. The famous CEO of Ryanair Michael O'Leary has been called crazy for all of his money making ideas. Ideas have included things such as making passengers stand instead of sit so as to increase capacity per aircraft, charge people extra by their weight, and one of the craziest, charging 50 pents or around $0.75 per bathroom visit!
"But Ryanair's O'Leary plans in the coming years to grow yet again, perhaps so up three hundred additional aircraft. Boeing and Airbus would be in the race for the order. However, there are no negotiations, and Airbus has reportedly refused to negotiate with Ryanair." luchtvaartnieuws
Again another bloody war between Airbus and Boeing will be fought again to try to secure this order which could generate millions of dollars. Even though Airbus has said that they would not cater to Ryanair's needs, I find it hard to believe and I really doubt that Airbus would take a chance to loose a multi-million dollar opportunity like this. The airline industry is one that is very dynamic and in a not so correct way "shoddy". Manufactors and airlines always like to play each other in order to get a better deal for themselves. I have a very good feeling that Airbus is playing hard to get, but if made the right offer, would jump on this deal when offered.
