The American aircraft manufacturer is handing over 25 planes to the Irish carrier sooner than planned. Instead of the originally scheduled delivery next spring, the 737 MAX jets will now arrive in October, Ryanair CEO Michael O\u2019Leary announced on Wednesday. He praised Boeing\u2019s performance, calling the quality of its work \u201coutstanding,\u201d and expressed confidence that U.S. regulators would grant swift certification for the new aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boeing has faced years of criticism over safety and production issues. Several crashes involving the 737 MAX, caused by technical failures, drew global attention. In one incident, a cabin door detached mid-flight. Following these problems, U.S. authorities grounded the entire 737 MAX fleet temporarily and later capped monthly production at 38 units. Recently, Boeing signaled its intent to request approval for higher output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Ryanair, the earlier deliveries come at a pivotal moment. The airline was forced to cancel roughly 700 flights due to air traffic control strikes, particularly in France. Despite these disruptions, booking figures remain strong, O\u2019Leary noted. With 70 percent of September tickets already sold, he expects to offset much of the financial impact and reaffirmed his outlook for the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
