Ryanair would look for an alternative aircraft supplier if US tariffs materially affect the price of planes it has ordered from Boeing, group chief executive Michael O’Leary said in a letter today, adding that he would consider Chinese planemaker COMAC.
“If the US government proceeds with its ill-judged plan to impose tariffs, and if these tariffs materially affect the price of Boeing aircraft exports to Europe, then we would certainly reassess both our current Boeing orders, and the possibility of placing those orders elsewhere,” Michael O’Leary said in a letter to a senior US politician seen by Reuters.
Shots fired at the Trump tariffs, popcorn on.

Some amount of hot air.
Airbus order books are full for years for models be would have an interest in.
Comac may never end up approved for flight in the EU or US airspace.
He has himself cornered with boeing. He held them over a barrel during COVID to get the best deals and now every delivery is late and his airline constantly has to adjust for missed deliveries.

Tariffs don’t work. Free trade is the way to go.

He would get an astonishingly good deal from COMAC if it came to it. Having the largest airline in the world outside the US, by passenger numbers, flying their planes would be an incredible boost to them.

It’s a real pity the China-Russia Commercial Aircraft International Co. Ltd. (CRAIC) joint venture was dissolved. Would have been a perfect fit.
