Ryanair to be short at least seven new Boeing planes following delays

Michael O'Leary said if the airline is left short of more than seven Boeing deliveries this summer, then it will have to look again at passenger traffic outlook. 

Ryanair expects to be at least seven Boeing deliveries short this summer but “there’s a risk that it could be worse” which could force it to revise its passenger numbers forecast, the company’s chief executive Michael O'Leary has said.

Boeing’s 737 production line is currently under a US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) audit following an incident on January 5 which saw a door plug blow off in mid-flight from an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9.
