The Ryanair Group has taken delivery of its 182nd Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 aircraft, further expanding its next-generation narrowbody fleet. The latest aircraft, registered SP-RZT, was delivered to Polish subsidiary Buzz, becoming the 20th MAX in the airline’s growing fleet. The aircraft departed Boeing Field in Seattle on August 30, operating as ferry flight RZS82T, and touched down in Dublin at 13:27 local time.
The following day, SP-RZT continued on to Buzz’s operational hub at Warsaw Modlin Airport, operating as flight RYR4543. It entered commercial service shortly thereafter as RYR1888/1889 to and from Paris Beauvais. Since the beginning of 2025, Boeing has delivered ten 737 MAX 8-200s to the Ryanair Group. Buzz has taken delivery of six of those aircraft—registrations SP-RZP, SP-RZQ, SP-RZS, SP-RZT, SP-RZU, and SP-RZV—while Ryanair DAC has received four: EI-IKP, EI-IKX, EI-IKY, and EI-IKZ.
Ryanair DAC continues to lead MAX operations within the group, with a fleet of 119 737 MAX 8-200s. Malta Air operates 43 of the type, and Buzz now stands at 20.
The Ryanair Group has ordered a total of 210 737 MAX aircraft and is scheduled to receive 28 more during fiscal year 2026.
