The CEO of the largest airline in Europe is in a growing ship with a member of the US Congress who warned him against the purchase of planes in China, because prices cause uncertainty in the aviation industry.
Several media reported on Thursday that Michael O’Leary de Ryanair had threatened to cancel the orders of new Boeing planes if prices are taken from the jets.
He came two days after sending a letter from Raja Krishnamoorthi, classification member of the selective committee of the Chinese Communist Party.
He said he raised “strong concerns” concerning the comments of the boss of Ryanair in an interview in March.
“The Chinese essentially build a fucking A320. So, if it was quite cheap – 10 or 20% cheaper than a Airbus plane – then we will order it,” O’Leary told Travel Industry Outlet Skift.
Comac C919 is a narrow body -like plane to the best -selling Airbus A320 and 737 in Boeing. He received more than 1,000 orders, almost entirely airlines in Southeast Asia.
The CEO of Airbus, Guillaume Faury, thinks that the climb of comac could see the sector pass “from a duopoly to a potential triopolis”.
Ryanair is a budget transporter with hundreds of Boeing 737, making it one of the greatest customers of the plan of the plan of the plan of the plan of the plan of the plan of the plan of the plan of the plane plan of the plane plan of the plan of the plane plan of the plan of the plan of the plan of the plane plan of the plane of the plan of the plan of the plan of the plan of the plane plan. It also operates smaller subsidiaries that control Airbus planes.
However, Ryanair has kept its open options on the concerns that the European Union could impose prices on American products in response to the 10% tax of Donald Trump.
Krishnamoorthhi, the democratic representative of the 8th district of the Illinois Congress, told the Irish airline that she should not do business with China.
He quoted an indictment from the Ministry of Justice from 2018 which accused 10 Chinese intelligence agents of participating in a business spy campaign to steal information on turbofan jet engines.
He also said that “evidence indicates” Comac has received government grants, although Boeing and Airbus have also done so in the past.
The boss of Ryanair seems to be firm, saying would have said in his answer on Thursday that he would turn to alternative suppliers, including Comac.
Ryanair and the Democrats of the House Selective Committee on the PCC did not respond to requests for comments sent by Business Insider.
Although the Comac is massively benefiting from an order from a great aviation player like Ryanair, prices could be a moment of brand or breakup for the manufacturer of parasites.
The C919 is based strongly on American manufacturing parts, on which China imposed tariffs of 125%.
However, a potential EU-US trade war could increase the prices of planes of the two main aviation players, Airbus and Boeing.
Barclays analysts predicted that this “could well prove that the catalyst launches the narrow Chinese body C919 on the international scene”.
