Ryanair is unlikely to reach a deal with Boeing on new aircraft orders because the US plane maker wants to change the delivery conditions, Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary said today.

"We've now pretty much reached agreement with Boeing on price, but the deal is unlikely to take place because now they want to go back and change delivery conditions," O'Leary told Reuters in an interview.

"Unless they change their position over the next week, the deal is off," he said.

The no-frills airline also announced today it is to open two new routes from its Duseeldorf base in Weeze, flying to Finland and Poland from march next year.
