Ryanair ( RYAAY) ( OTCPK:RYAOF) Chief Executive Michael O’Leary estimates that plane maker Boeing ( NYSE: BA) will be able to lift output of its 737 Max jetliners to 38 a month by the end of summer and possibly to 42 by October if aviation authorities approve, Reuters reported Monday.

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 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 has revised its passenger forecasts, citing delays in Boeing aircraft deliveries as the reason for postponing its goal of 210 million passengers to 2026

Irish carrier now expects to carry 206 million passengers in 2025-26 financial year, down from 210m previously forecast
