DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ryanair (I:RYA) is prioritising getting a current order of up to 210 of Boeing (NYSE:BA)'s troubled 737 MAX aircraft in the sky next year, the chief executive of its main airlines business said on Friday in response to a report that it was looking to buy more planes.

The Irish Independent newspaper reported that Ryanair, one of the largest customers for the jet that was grounded worldwide in early 2019, is eyeing an order for between 150 and 200 MAX aircraft, potentially by the end of the year.
