eclipsed those opposing a split for the first time since the
referendum campaign began. On Monday Royal Bank of Scotland Group

Ryanair Holdings PLC (RYAAY, RYA.LN, RYA.DB) said on Monday that
it would buy as many as 200 more-efficient Boeing Co. (BA)
narrow-body jets as it seeks to grow the discount airline and
maintain its cost edge over rivals. Shares rose 14 cents to
$57.84.
