UPDATE 2-Ryanair can bide its time for better plane deals, says O'Leary

Tue, 01st Oct 2019 14:10

* Planemakers have boosted prices since 737 MAX grounding
-O'Leary

* Next 737 variant likely to come with extra discounts
-sources

* O'Leary says new airline taxes could hasten sector
consolidation
(Adds O'Leary says MAX crisis has not changed his policy of one
aircraft type per airline)

By Laurence Frost and Tim Hepher

LONDON, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Ryanair can wait out price
rises sought by planemakers since the global grounding of the
Boeing 737 MAX, the Irish airline's boss said on Tuesday.

Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O'Leary said his company can
wait for prices to drop before placing any large orders.

"I think we have to wait for the next turn in the cycle," he
said at a Reuters Newsmaker event in London.

"At the moment there are no pricing opportunities on
aircraft. The MAX has been grounded, Airbus are pricing up,
Boeing are pricing up because they've nothing to sell."

Industry sources say Ryanair has begun commercial talks with
Boeing over an order for a larger MAX variant that could be
finalised once the current version returns to service.

The price of the potential 737 MAX 10 order is expected to
include sharper discounts in lieu of cash compensation for the
grounding of the older variants, the sources have said.

Ryanair has said it is interested in 100 Airbus A321neo
aircraft for its recently acquired Laudamotion business and the
737 MAX 10 for its all-Boeing main fleet "at the right price".
But O'Leary said the talks with Airbus were going slowly.

While Laudamotion provided a platform to acquire Airbus
planes into the Ryanair Group, the MAX grounding has not caused
him to reconsider his policy of running just one aircraft type
per airline, he said.

Ryanair has 135 of a special 197-seat version of Boeing's
grounded 737 MAX 8 planes on order and options for a further 75.
The Boeing 737 MAX 10 is expected to have up to 230 seats.

On Tuesday O'Leary said Ryanair is in "continuous dialogue"
with Boeing in the hope that 30-40 737 MAX jets could be
operational by summer 2020, assuming the plane is cleared to
return to service by the end of this year or soon after.

Ryanair recently lowered the target for next year to 30 from
58 because of the delays caused by the grounding of the MAX
fleet after two fatal crashes that killed 346 people.

Before the MAX can return to service, U.S. and European
aviation authorities need to approve software and training
changes proposed by Boeing.

CONSOLIDATION COMING?

A likely proliferation of European environmental taxes will
eventually force more carriers out of business, O'Leary also
predicted on Tuesday, while condemning proposals that would
force low-cost carriers to bear the brunt of increased levies.

"It's going to hasten the consolidation of the industry,"
O'Leary said.

Governments including France and the Netherlands are
introducing new airline taxes or considering doing so, with
exemptions for connecting flights in a move that would help
traditional network carriers such as Air France-KLM.

Germany, meanwhile, is considering imposing minimum ticket
prices that would punish low-cost operators.

"You can't exempt connecting transfer traffic from
environmental taxes," O'Leary said, adding that such flights
represent the most environmentally damaging traffic because they
involve two flights to reach their destination.

Low-cost carriers account for a large share of Europe's
recent and expected aviation emissions growth, but Ryanair's
high load factors allow it to report lower carbon output than
full-service rivals on a per-passenger basis.

"As we cram you all in together, you can take comfort from
the fact that you're having the least impact on the environment
of any passenger airline group in Europe," O'Leary said.
