DUBLIN (Reuters) -Ryanair has decided not to switch MAX 10 aircraft due for delivery in early 2027 to the smaller MAX 8 aircraft following reassurances from Boeing that they will arrive on time, Chief Executive Michael O'Leary said on Monday.
Boeing promised to tell Ryanair by the end of June whether the new aircraft would be ready, "or we would change back and take more additional (MAX) 8-200s," O'Leary told analysts following the publication of results for the April-June quarter.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope has "helpfully confirmed ... in writing" that the aircraft will arrive on time, O'Leary said.

The MAX 10 is a variant of Boeing's 737 MAX series, designed to carry more passengers and offer improved fuel efficiency compared to earlier models.
