Group CEO Michael O’Leary said he was confident that Boeing would deliver all 50 737 Max aircraft due by next summer but he was concerned about a possible repeat of delays this year
Ryanair on Monday said that Boeing had warned it of possible delays to 21 737 Max aircraft due for delivery before the end of the year and said it was also worried about the certification of the new Max 10 aircraft.
“In the last two weeks, we’re getting letters out of Boeing telling us there might be problems with 21 aircraft this side of Christmas,” O’Leary told investors on a conference call.O’Leary said that he had been assured that Ryanair deliveries would take priority this winter. O’Leary said he was still interested in a large order for the Max 10 - the largest member of its best-selling single-aisle airplane family - but that Boeing had not offered attractive enough pricing yet.Ryanair last year walked away from negotiations with Boeing for 200 of the Max 10. The Max 10 programme, which has not yet been certified, received a boost at Britain’s Farnborough Airshow last week with Delta Air Lines ordering 100 and Qatar Airways 25.
