"In another display of confidence, European budget airline Ryanair was set to place a hefty order for up to 75 additional 737 MAX jets, industry sources said."
A Ryanair spokesperson said "It's the first time we've ever been offered a discount in excess of 100%"
- throwaway4good 6y agoDiscount in excess of 100%? So they were paid to brake them? Makes sense for Ryan to start doing negative prices for their flights. Making profit on the bus fare into city and baggage fees.
- londons_explore 6y agoThat quote wasn't in the article... I suspect OP was joking, but even if they had been given a massive discount, I'm sure the contract prevents them from telling anyone else the terms...
- ludamad 6y agoThe joke is just a little too subtle if so lol (though perhaps how it ought to be), seen some really weird arrangements during this year
- throwaway4good 6y agoThe oil price can go negative then why not this. The planes are just a cost for Boeing once they are built and they obviously need to them in the air to convince everyone that they are safe and ok to buy.

- gsnedders 6y agoRyanair were notable for also placing a large order for the 737 NG in January 2002, which was rumoured to be in excess of 50% of list price, as Boeing had struggled to make any sales and was having lay-offs.
