Ryanair (RYAAY) could become the "lead customer" for Boeing's (BA) more fuel-efficient 737 Max jets by making an order later this year for 100-200 of the planes in a deal that could top $20B, Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said yesterday. O'Leary was speaking after his airline sealed what he called "an interim order" for 175 737-800s in a deal worth $15.6B at list prices.

Boeing (BA) has won an order for 175 737-800 jets from Dublin-based Ryanair (RYAAY) in a deal worth $15.6B at list prices. The booking makes up for some of Boeing's hurt for losing out on a $24B order from Indonesia's Lion Air. (PR)

Boeing (BA) has reportedly received an $18B order from Dublin-based Ryanair (RYAAY) for 200 jets in a deal that is set to be confirmed next week, when Irish Taoiseach Enda Kenny visits the White House. It's not clear whether Ryanair will acquire the 737-800 or Boeing's new 'Max' model. The booking would be one of Boeing's largest ever and presumably mark the end of a feud that goes back to 2009 over a collapsed order.

While the main commercial-aircraft battle is between Boeing (BA) and Airbus, China has begun to stake its territory, with COMAC announcing 50 new orders for its 150-seat C919 jet. That takes total bookings to 380, around the plane's break-even point. So far, the only confirmed foreign buyer is GE unit GECAS, although Ryanair and British Airways have signed tentative purchase agreements.

The EU will apply more pressure to counterparts in Washington to set in motion a plan to relax foreign ownership rules on airlines in the U.S. and Europe. Estonia's Siim Kallas is the driving force behind the proposed overhaul which seeks to cut into the advantage that Asian carriers are deemed to hold.

Airlines stocks are finishing off a tough year, says bond analyst Vicki Bryan, and face similar challenges going into 2012. “We had a rebound in fare pricing earlier this year, but we started to lose that as demand faded. That’s going to continue next year," Bryan says, "so even if fuel stays where it is, the weaker pricing will challenge margins and profits.”

Ryanair (RYAAY) +6.7% premarket after Europe's No. 1 budget airline lifted its profit outlook for the year, citing stronger-than-expected demand at higher prices in February and March. Ryanair, which has a reputation for bearish forecasts, may have benefited from strikes at rival British Airways (BAIRY.PK).
