Ryanair Cuts Passenger Forecast Again Due to Boeing Delays

The airline now expects 206 million passengers for 2025-26, citing ongoing delivery setbacks of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

Ryanair has reduced its passenger forecast for the 2025-26 financial year to 206 million, down from the previously revised 210 million estimate.
The airline attributes the adjustment to delays in Boeing's delivery of 737 MAX aircraft, stemming from production issues and a 2024 strike.
Ryanair's profits for the last quarter of 2024 reached €149 million, significantly exceeding analyst expectations, supported by higher fares and strong holiday bookings.
Despite the delays, Ryanair expects to receive nine Boeing aircraft before summer 2025, but the remaining 29 will not arrive until spring 2026.
The company projects profits for the 2024-25 financial year to range between €1.55 billion and €1.61 billion, a decline from €1.92 billion in the previous year.
