If all 200 aircraft are acquired, this deal will be worth over $22 billion at current list prices. Ryanair becomes the lead customer for this new aircraft which in its configuration will feature 197 seats (eight more than Ryanair’s existing 737-800s) and new CFM LEAP-1B engines, which combined with aerodynamic improvements will reduce fuel consumption by up to 18% in Ryanair’s configuration and reduce operational noise emissions by 40 percent.
