Investing.com -- Ryanair, the European budget airline, has expressed satisfaction with its relationship with Boeing (NYSE: BA ) under the latter’s new leadership. The airline’s CEO, Michael O’Leary, stated in an interview to Reuters on Thursday that Boeing has committed to providing alternative aircraft for the summer of 2027 if the new 737 MAX 10 fails to receive certification this year.

O’Leary shared that Ryanair expects to receive the first 15 of the new 737 MAX 10 aircraft in 2027. However, Boeing has agreed to supply additional 737 MAX 8s in case the MAX 10s do not receive certification in time and cannot be delivered. This agreement ensures that Ryanair’s fleet expansion for the summer of 2027 will proceed as planned, regardless of the certification status of the 737 MAX 10.
