Ryanair profits ‘unaffected by late delivery’

RYANAIR says that profits will not be affected by the late delivery of new aircraft, which has forced the carrier to reign in expansion plans.

The airline said that between January and March next year it will have to cancel hundreds of flights because new Boeing aircraft will not be available on time.

A strike by Boeing workers in September and October means that four 737-800 jets will not arrive until next April.
