Summary
O'Leary said in a statement on Monday that while Boeing estimates the plane to return close to September, the airline thought it would be "prudent to plan for that date to slip by some months, possibly as late as December." Ryanair also faces another issue as it ordered a variant of the 737 Max 8 called the 737 Max 200, which O'Leary said would need to be certified separately by US and European regulators. Reuters Ryanair's fleet is currently made up solely of Boeing 737-800 planes, and O'Leary asserted that the airline is still confident in adding the 737 Max model.
