In a press release dated 1st March Ryanair confirmed that Boeing now expect to deliver just 40 of the 57 planned B737-MAX8200 aircraft that were due to be delivered to Ryanair before the end of June 2024. Ryanair’s current S24 schedule was based on receiving a minimum of 50 B737 aircraft.

Ryanair stated it will work with Boeing to accept aircraft deliveries during the peak months of July, August and September 2024, but given the delivery uncertainties, it will be unable to put these aircraft on sale for peak summer season travel.
