Ryanair to fly a Boeing 737-800 in 7E7 Dreamliner colors

With the disposal of several older Boeing 737-200s, Ryanair's logojets are becoming rare birds.
The newer Boeing 737-800s haven't indeed been converted into flying bill-boards yet.

Things will change with EI-DCL (cn 33806/1576), which was spotted on 25/09/2004 at Boeing Field.

Note to Mr Ryanair: This scheme is really cool. I would really really appreciate if you could make sure I get this bird for one of my flights in November (03/11 FR6902 CRL-GRO and 05/11 6907 GRO-CRL)

Very nice!

(And to Mr Ryan - I would appreciate it if this aircraft was in BHX on the afternoon of 2nd November, or the early morning of 3rd November

It's indeed a great looking paint scheme. Boeing has since a couple of years always had very nice corporate liveries. Airbus could take a not to that !!!

After Air Berlin? If I were Mr Ryanair, with my big order of 738s, I would be angry to be only nr. 2 to wear such a livery

Yep, it's a beauty again!
Seems to me I have to search for a nice trip again with RYR but first my trip to LIM is coming up in November.

Greetz,

It is indeed a nice coloursheme! Is Boeing actually paying Ryanair for this livery or did they get a reduction on bying their new aircrafts??

Good question! Knowing O'Leary he certainly got a good deal from Boeing to advertise that colour scheme.

That's what I think too. He willl not do this kind of thing for nothing. I'm shure he got something out of it. He is in my eyes a really good bussines man for this kind of things!

Very pleasant surprise yesterday evening, flew back from DUB to NCL on EI-DCL. Looked like it was a replacement to a scheduled 737-200, seats at the back out of use due to lack of pax, but was showing full earlier in the week.

I assume a/c has only been in service a few days, last pic I saw of it was a week before at Seattle.

Welcome to Luchtzak, MarcD. Glad to see one of our readers inaugurating the 7E7-like Ryanair plane.

Welcome to the Luchtzak Forums, MarcD :wave:

That Dreamliner color scheme does really rock in my opinion, I think it looks slightly better then on the Air-Berlin B737-700 because this Ryanair B737-800 is some longer.
I agree with Avro that Boeing had good looking corporate schemes over the last years, and that Airbus maybe could something from Boeing

Well, this is the third B737NG flying around in the Dreamliner color scheme (unfortunately Korean Airways has already repainted it back into their normal scheme), so does anyone know if there are others to come?
