Update: Ryanair Expects No Major Delivery Delays From Boeing's Software Snag

06:50 AM EDT, 09/29/2026 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with company statement, details throughout.) Ryanair (RYAAR) is expecting no significant delays to the delivery of Boeing's (BA) latest 737 MAX 10 aircraft model after a US regulator held back its certification due to software issue, chief executive of the Irish airline said Tuesday. The company does not know the extent of the issue, but it does not believe there will be a "substantial delay," CEO Michael O'Leary said at a briefing in Poland. Ryanair continues to expect to receive its first 15 MAX 10 aircraft in spring of 2027, which are required to grow capacity by about 2% or 3%, O'Leary added. The US Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it will hold off certification of the Max 10, which was expected in the coming weeks, until the software issue is resolved. "Ryanair is not impacted by this Boeing issue," a spokesperson for Ryanair told MT Newswires. Representatives for Boeing did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
