RYANAIR TAKES DELIVERY OF ITS 200th NEW BOEING 737-800 AIRCRAFT


 
Ryanair, Europe’s largest low fares airline, today (25th Mar 09) celebrated the delivery of its 200th brand new Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft. This year Ryanair’s fleet will carry 67 million passengers as it continues to grow traffic with its guaranteed lowest fares, which now average just €34, as passengers save billions by switching to Ryanair from high cost fuel surcharging flag carrier airlines. 

Ryanair celebrated its 200
th
 aircraft by releasing 
1million €10
*
 seats
 for travel across its European network in April, May and June. These low fares are now available for booking on

Ryanair's Stephen McNamara said:

"We are delighted to take delivery of our 200
th
 brand new Boeing aircraft. The total value of the Ryanair fleet is now over $12billion. We are proud to operate the youngest, greenest and most fuel efficient fleet of any major European airline. 

"
This aircraft will help us to grow to 67 million passengers this year as 
we continue
 to lower fares and guarantee no fuel surcharge
s
,
 
which is why so many 
passenger
s
 
are switching to Ryanair 
during the current recession
