Ryanair expects no delay to $40bn Boeing Max 10 order after blowout incident

Ryanair said in a statement to the Irish Examiner it doesn't expect the Boeing Max 9 grounding to have any impact on the delivery of the new Max 10 aircraft

A panel used to plug an area reserved for an exit door on the Boeing 737 Max 9 jetliner blew out on January 5, shortly after the flight took off from Portland in Oregon

Ryanair's huge $40bn order for the new Max 10 planes starting delivery three years from now won't be affected by the serious issue for Boeing that involved a panel blowout on an airborne Max 9 plane in the US, the airline has said.   

Friday's incident involved a Boeing 737 Max 9 plane when a large cabin panel blew out at 16,000 feet as an Alaska Airlines flight climbed out of Portland in Oregon.
