Ryanair's Michael O'Leary is looking to Boeing's new head of commercial airplanes to fix problems that have delayed deliveries and held up his company's growth, but says he does not care who becomes the overall boss.

Boeing chief Dave Calhoun has said he would step down as CEO of Boeing by the year-end following the departure of its commercial plane-making chief and its chairman amid the crisis facing the company. Boeing named Stephanie Pope as head of its commercial airplanes division, making her a contender for the top job.
