Ryanair gets airline Buzz

 

Low-cost airline Ryanair has revealed plans to buy its smaller rival Buzz.

Buzz is currently owned by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, but will be bought by the Irish airline for 23.9m euros (£15.6m;$25.7m).

 

Ryanair, which has so far avoided acquisitions, said the deal represented good value.

 

The Dublin-based group said it would close a number of Buzz's unprofitable routes, while increasing the frequency and reducing the cost of other routes.

 

'Nominal' sum

 

Both Buzz and Ryanair have major hubs at Stansted airport in the UK. Ryanair said the deal would allow it to expand its reach from Stansted, where Buzz currently operates 21 routes. "It's about consolidating the low-cost centre and strengthening their position at Stansted," a spokesman from the travel group TUI told BBC News 24.

 

Ryanair described the cost of the deal as "nominal", and said it would be funded from its existing cash deposits. Earlier this week, Ryanair announced it was to open its ninth European base at Stockholm's Skavsta airport. "

"Irish Carrier Ryanair Poised to Order 100 Boeing Planes

Friday, January 31, 2003 01:14 AM ET Printer-friendly version

 

Irish low-fare carrier Ryanair (RYAAY, news), taking advantage of a depressed commercial aircraft market, is expected to announce today an order for as many as 100 Boeing 737-800s, with a list price of roughly $6 billion, Friday's Wall Street Journal reported.

 

The huge order is sure to surprise many in the industry, coming just a year after Ryanair ordered 100 of the same single-aisle airplanes and took options on 50 more, making it Boeing Co.'s (BA, news) single-largest order of 2002. The move follows Boeing's report yesterday of improved fourth-quarter earnings that were helped by stronger military defense orders, but reflected the deep slump in commercial aviation.

 

It was unclear how many of the new Ryanair orders are firm and how many are options, although people familiar with the deal say that it will include a " moderate" number of firm orders that will be delivered in 2004 and 2005, with the balance accounted for as options. The companies called a media conference in London for today, at which they are expected to disclose more details of the deal. Although the list price for the 100 planes is roughly $6 billion, people familiar with the deal said Boeing agreed to steep discounts.

 

A Ryanair spokeswoman declined to comment. A Boeing spokesman in London also declined to comment."
