Boeing completes Ryanair 737-800 deliveries

Irish carrier Ryanair has taken delivery of its last new Boeing 737-800, a little over 20 years since it first ordered the jet. In March 1998, Ryanair placed a firm order for 25 737-800s, the first of which joined the fleet the following year. This has since been added to by a series of follow-on orders from the pan-European low-cost giant. Boeing on 14 December tweeted that the last of these aircraft had been delivered. Flight Fleets Analyzer shows that Ryanair has a fleet of 440 737-800s, making it the largest airline operator of 737-800s.
