Ryanair has trimmed its winter schedule after Boeing failed to deliver 13 new aircraft on time.

Ryanair expects to reach its target of 183.5 million passengers by March

The budget carrier on Thursday (28 September) said it had been told it will only receive 14 of the 27 new aircraft it had scheduled for delivery between September and December due to production issues at Boeing’s Kansas factory, as well as repair and delivery delays in Seattle.

This has resulted in Ryanair cutting the number of Brussels-based aircraft by three, while reducing the number of aircraft it has stationed in Dublin and in Italy by two and five respectively. Cuts will also take place at several other airports, including East Midlands, Porto and Cologne.
