If U.S. airlines decided to cancel their Boeing 737 Max 10 aircraft orders, then Ryanair said that it is willing to purchase them.

This was confirmed by the Irish ultra-low-cost carrier group on Monday, Jan. 29, during a presentation on the airline's quarterly results.

What Ryanair's executives said is quite surprising since Boeing made huge headlines recently after some of its airplanes caused alarming incidents, especially the mid-flight blowout incident.

But, why is Ryanair so invested in Boeing's 737 Max 10 passenger aircraft units? Here's what the Irish carrier group's officials explained.

Ryanair Willing To Purchase Boeing 737 Max 10 If US Airlines Cancel Orders

According to Yahoo Finance's latest report, Ryanair's officials said that they are willing to buy all the Boeing 737 Max 10 orders that U.S. airlines might cancel.

As of writing, Ryanair already has 150 737 Max 10 orders, which are expected to be delivered in 2027, and is still open for 150 more.

"We have told them if some of these American airlines don't want to take the MAX 10 aircraft, Ryanair will take those aircraft," said Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O'Leary.

Recently, O'Leary already showed his interest in the upcoming Boeing 737 Max 10 airplanes, saying that these are transformational aircraft. He added that the American aircraft manufacturer would always make great airplane models.

However, the Ryanair official admitted that Boeing still needs to improve the quality of its airplanes. Aside from O'Leary, Ryanair Chief Financial Officer Neil Sorahan also showed his interest in acquiring the 737 Max 10 orders that U.S.-based airlines could cancel.

"If Scott Kirby doesn't want to take his MAX 10s, then we'll very happily take them at the right price," said the Ryanair CFO.

Sorahan added that he is hopeful that the Boeing 737 Max 10s will be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration as early as 2025.

United Airlines Might Cancel Boeing 737 Max 10 Orders

The comments made by Ryanair's executives came after United Airlines cast doubt on its Boeing 737 Max 10 orders. UA CEO Scott Kirby said that they are weighing if their airplane fleet really needs the 737 Max 10s.

He said that they are weighing fleet plans without the Boeing aircraft because of the series of delays, as well as the recent incidents involving the smaller variant of the Max 10, which is the 737 Max 9.

"I think the Max 9 grounding is probably the straw that broke the camel's back for us," said Kirby via CNBC.

"We're going to at least build a plan that doesn't have the Max 10 in it," he added.
