Ryanair expects Boeing to boost 737 production to 42 jets monthly by October, pending FAA approval. This increase follows a cap due to a January incident.
DUBLIN (Reuters) -Ryanair expects that Boeing will boost its monthly output of 737 jets to 42 per month from 38 by October, the airline's chief executive Michael O'Leary told journalists on Wednesday.
Boeing is waiting for the Federal Aviation Administration to lift a 38-plane-per-month cap on 737 MAX production, which it imposed shortly after a January 2024 mid-air emergency involving a new Alaska Airlines 737 MAX 9 missing four key bolts.
Ryanair is one of Boeing's largest 737 customers and O'Leary said he had spoken to Boeing commercial airplanes head Stephanie Pope earlier on Wednesday.
