Ryanair capacity hit as Boeing delivery delays 'getting worse' 

Summer flying capacity likely to be affected, while Ryanair could miss its target of transporting 200m passengers next year

The delay means Ryanair may get as few as 40 aircraft by the end of June, says Michael O'Leary. Picture: PA

Ryanair said  delivery delays of 737 Boeing Max aircraft have worsened and are now likely to affect capacity next summer. 

Ryanair said last month that it expected to receive 14 of 27 aircraft due by late December, but that number could fall as low as 10, chief executive Michael O’Leary said in an interview at an airlines meeting in Brussels. The latest supplier glitch to the jet looks like it will be challenging to fix, he said.
