Michael O’Leary, CEO of Ryanair (RYAAY), Europe’s largest airline by passenger numbers, said he remained “100% committed” to Boeing (BA) for future orders and had a lot of faith in Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun and finance chief Brian West, according to Reuters, citing an interview with the executive. However, O’Leary added that while the U.S. planemaker had made “tremendous strides” in the last two years on production quality, “they’re not there yet” and said Ryanair still had concerns about Boeing’s day-to-day production management in Seattle and that of supplier Spirit AeroSystems (SPR), the report noted.
