Re: Another order for Boeing...

Nevertheless, O'Leary strongly hinted at the size of the order during a visit to Seattle in November, soon after Ryanair's rival easyJet announced an order for 120 planes from Airbus.
"The message to Boeing today is, you keep building them, we'll keep buying them, and together both of us will beat the crap out of Airbus in the next couple years," he said then.
An order for another 100 planes, O'Leary said, is "the right response to the Airbus-easyJet order: Let's step up (our) order and go after the buggers."
Ryanair has 31 737-800s in its fleet, and it is scheduled to receive two more next week.
