Ryanair Warns of Higher Summer Fares Amid Boeing Delivery Delays
Ryanair has announced it will be forced to cut its summer flight schedule due to significant delays in receiving new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The airline, which had expected 57 new jets by the end of June, now anticipates receiving only around 40. This shortfall will result in minor schedule reductions across its network from late March through October. Chief Executive Michael O'Leary warned that the reduced capacity will likely cause summer airfares to be up to 10% higher than last year. The delivery issues are a direct consequence of Boeing slowing production to address quality control problems following the Alaska Airlines mid-air panel blowout.
