Ryanair expects to receive 38 Boeing 737 planes by the end of the summer and possibly up to 42 by October if the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration approves deliveries of the additional jets, Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said on Monday.

The Irish carrier said it now expects to carry 206 million passengers in its 2025-26 financial year, down from the 210 million previously forecast.

The low-cost carrier detailed that its target of 200 million annual passengers remains intact in FY25. However, Boeing’s delivery schedule also affected its future plans, already forcing Ryanair to adjust its FY26 passenger outlook from 210 million to 206 million.

Ryanair expects Boeing to produce 38 of its 737 MAX planes per month by the end of the summer and possibly up to 42 by October, subject to U.S. Federal Aviation Administration approval, Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary said on Monday.
