Jesus christ! As much as I admire MOL and Ryanair isn't this taking a bit of a gamble?

Where is the market going to be for all these new aircraft? Surely the airline market in the EU is nearly saturated?

With this order, Ryanair must be banking on a major european airline going bust (eg Alitalia), or they are aiming to run all their competitors into the ground.

However, whilst I can see many loco's failing, I can't see EasyJet falling in the future which is why I think its a bit of a risk.

Then again, they wouldn't place the order if they didn't know what they were doing, so its interesting times ahead!
