Ryanair boss defends Boeing – and shoots against Airbus. Ryanair is reportedly planning to increase the number of Airbus A320s for Lauda's fleet.

Boeing has been struggling with safety problems since the beginning of the year. O'Leary would prefer if Boeing CEO David Calhoun remained in his job. He also criticizes Airbus, saying the European aircraft manufacturer is treated more lightly in public in the event of breakdowns, criticizes O' Leary and shoots. The major Boeing 737 customer would like to buy a further 360 Boeing aircraft in the next ten years.
