Ryanair threatens to seek alternative to Boeing order

  • Ryanair threatened to cancel some of its 330 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft orders due to possible U.S. Tariffs on Boeing exports to Europe announced in early 2025.
  • The threat came in response to concerns voiced by U.S. Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi regarding potential security risks if Ryanair were to proceed with purchasing Chinese-made COMAC aircraft, amid looming tariff actions by the U.S. Government.
  • Ryanair, Europe's largest airline by passengers, holds firm orders for 150 MAX 10 jets with delivery starting in 2027 and may reconsider orders if tariffs raise prices materially.
  • CEO Michael O'Leary stated in a letter seen by Reuters that Ryanair would reassess Boeing orders unless tariffs do not affect export prices and noted possible consideration of COMAC if 10%-20% cheaper than Airbus.
  • This escalation signals a potential reshaping of aerospace supply choices, highlighting risks that tariffs pose to Boeing’s European business and Ryanair’s growth strategies.
