Five things to watch in markets in the week ahead
Investing.com -- Ryanair expects to receive its first Boeing 737 MAX 10 jets on schedule in early 2027, according to Group Chief Executive Michael O’Leary, who shared the update at a news conference on Thursday.
O’Leary’s statement marks a shift from his position last month when he described himself as "optimistic, but not confident" about the timing for the first portion of the 150 MAX 10 jets Ryanair has ordered.
The CEO’s increased confidence follows a conversation with Boeing commercial airplanes head Stephanie Pope approximately two weeks ago. O’Leary revealed that Boeing has provided written confirmation regarding the expected delivery timeline.
"They’ve written to us confirming they expect to deliver those Max 10s to us in the spring of 2027... We do not believe there will any be any delays to our first (delivery)," O’Leary said.
According to O’Leary, Boeing anticipates certification of the 737 MAX 10 planes by the third quarter of 2026, which would allow for the scheduled deliveries to begin the following spring.
