Ryanair Expects Boeing to Boost 737 MAX Output to 38 Monthly

Ryanair expects Boeing to ramp up production of its 737 MAX aircraft to 38 units per month by the end of summer, with the potential to reach 42 per month by October, pending U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval.

Speaking on Monday, Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary expressed confidence in Boeing’s ability to increase production levels, stating that he was “reasonably hopeful” the manufacturer would meet these targets. He also clarified that Boeing’s ongoing delivery delays were not linked to supply chain disruptions.

Boeing’s 737 MAX program has faced multiple setbacks in recent years, including regulatory scrutiny and production slowdowns. However, the company has been working to restore its manufacturing capacity and address quality control issues to meet rising airline demand.

For Ryanair, an increase in Boeing’s production output is crucial to maintaining its fleet expansion plans and supporting its aggressive European growth strategy. The Irish low-cost carrier is one of Boeing’s largest customers, with substantial orders for the fuel-efficient 737 MAX model.

The FAA’s approval will be a key factor in determining whether Boeing can meet these production goals. The manufacturer has been under close regulatory oversight following past safety concerns and is working to regain industry confidence.

As airlines prepare for increased travel demand, Boeing’s ability to meet Ryanair’s expectations will be a major industry focus in the coming months.
