The Ryanair Group continued the expansion of its Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 “Gamechanger” fleet through 2025, taking delivery of 34 aircraft during the calendar year and bringing the in-service total to 206 aircraft as of 31 December 2025.
Deliveries during the year were primarily allocated to Dublin-based Ryanair DAC, which received 26 aircraft, reinforcing its position as the group’s largest MAX operator. A further seven aircraft were delivered to Polish subsidiary Buzz, while Ryanair UK took delivery of a single aircraft, marking a notable milestone for the London Stansted-based AOC.
At year-end, Ryanair DAC operated 141 Boeing 737 MAX 8-200s, followed by Malta Air with 43 aircraft, Buzz with 21, and Ryanair UK with one aircraft.
The final delivery of the year and the 206th MAX aircraft for the group was Ryanair UK’s G-RYMA (Boeing 737-8200), which was ferried from Boeing Field to London Stansted on 11 December 2025. The preceding aircraft, EI-ILR (c/n 67127), was delivered to Ryanair DAC on 27 November 2025, becoming aircraft number 205 in the group’s MAX fleet.
Deliveries were concentrated in the second half of the year, particularly during August, September and October, reflecting Boeing’s production cadence and Ryanair Group’s capacity growth plans ahead of Summer 2026 schedule.
A further four outstanding Boeing 737 MAX 8-200s are to be delivered in 2026Q4 to be complete Ryanair Group order for 210 aircraft.
