So maybe you could just give us an insight to what is Ryanair looking at and what were some of the drivers behind some of its recent plans that Michael O'Leary spoke to you about?
3:02
Yeah, well, thanks James again for the invitation.
3:03
Well, there's a few points, maybe it's a kind of frustration in terms of supply chain.
3:09
And then of the other thing O'Leary told me is also there are just two big engine manufacturers that are dominating the scene, Brett & Whitney, for example, and General Electric.
3:17
But the fact is also, as Ryanair is growing up to 800 aircraft in the next decade, Michael told me, Michael O'Leary, that he will soon have 2,000 engines.
3:28
And as of today, he has already 200 engines every day under maintenance.
3:33
So it makes sense, getting bigger and bigger, to bring this in-house.

But I know beforehand we mentioned maybe Turkey and parts of India, but any other examples you can mention to our listeners?
