Ryanair has made a huge aircraft order for up to 300 new Boeing 737-Max-10 aircraft worth as much as $40bn.
It comprises a firm order for 150 jets and options for 150 more.
They are expected to be delivered from 2027 to 2033.
It is the largest order ever placed by an Irish company for US manufactured goods.
