Ryanair Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Leary said a deal to buy new planes from Boeing is "highly unlikely."

He said talks with the aircraft company will end if a deal isn’t reached by the end of the month.

"We don’t bluster. We make threats and carry them out," O’Leary said at a press conference in Dublin today.
