Ryanair has taken delivery of its 200th Boeing 737-800.
The new addition to the budget carrier’s fleet comes as Ryanair aims to carry 67 million passengers this year with lowest average fare of €34.
One million seats at £10 for travel across its European network in April, May and June have been released to coincide with the arrival of the new aircraft.
A spokesman said: “The total value of the Ryanair fleet is now over $12 billion. We are proud to operate the youngest, greenest and most fuel efficient fleet of any major European airline.
“This aircraft will help us to grow to 67 million passengers this year as we continue to lower fares and guarantee no fuel surcharges, which is why so many passengers are switching to Ryanair during the current recession”.
