Ryanair Holdings Plc&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYAAY#OTC">RYAAY</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RYAOF#OTC">RYAOF</a>) is facing the prospect of receiving fewer&nbsp;Boeing Co&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) aircraft by the end of June than initially anticipated, according to CEO&nbsp;Michael O&#8217;Leary.&nbsp;
Ryanair&nbsp;runs one of the biggest fleets of Boeing aircraft, with around 230 currently in service, and has 300 of the company&#8217;s 737&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36679192/boeings-rough-ride-airline-industry-demands-tighter-safety-measures-as-stocks-nosedive" rel="noreferrer noopener">Max 10 models on order.</a>
In Early January,&nbsp;Alaskan Airlines&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALK#NYSE">ALK</a>)&nbsp;737 Max 9&nbsp;jet was forced to make an emergency landing after&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36523143/im-going-to-die-passengers-experience-15-minute-nightmare-during-alaska-airs-harrowing-emergency" rel="noreferrer noopener">a door panel blew out in mid-flight.</a>
Ryanair is set to be the first in Europe to experience the repercussions of Boeing&#8217;s crisis and is expected to have 57 Boeing MAX 8200 planes by&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/01/36868284/boeings-suspends-outlook-after-q4-results-says-plug-issue-completely-under-control" rel="noreferrer noopener">the end of April</a>.&nbsp;
However, a recent communication from Boeing indicated a reduced delivery of around 50 aircraft by the end of June, Reuters noted, prompting uncertainty and potential disruptions to Ryanair&#8217;s summer schedule.
Boeing acknowledged the situation, expressing regret for the impact on Ryanair and attributing delays to ensuring regulatory standards.
In response to the potential shortage, O&#8217;Leary revealed that Ryanair might need to make minor schedule cuts, affecting capacity during the peak summer travel season.
The delivery delays could result in Ryanair carrying only 200 million passengers for the financial year starting in April, down from the previous forecast of 205 million.&nbsp;
O&#8217;Leary highlighted the challenges, stating that further disruptions could affect the airline&#8217;s competitiveness against rivals like&nbsp;easyJet Plc&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EJTTF#OTC">EJTTF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ESYJY#OTC">ESYJY</a>)
In light of the delays, Ryanair is reportedly discussing compensation with Boeing.&nbsp;
As per the Financial Times&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/a00a1875-a3ee-4c38-aee8-8267cc1459fe" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>, O&#8217;Leary expressed frustration with the situation, labeling it a &#8220;shitshow&#8221; in Seattle, and emphasized the focus on obtaining the ordered airplanes.&nbsp;
He also hinted at passing some of the cost to customers, with potential price increases of 5%-10% this summer and average fares rising by 10-15 euros over the next five years.
While Ryanair grapples with Boeing&#8217;s production issues, other airlines like&nbsp;Lufthansa&nbsp;and&nbsp;TUI&nbsp;are taking mitigating steps to address potential delays.&nbsp;
Analysts anticipate rising ticket prices across the sector due to general supply chain delays.&nbsp;
O&#8217;Leary remained open to additional Boeing orders if other carriers dropped their orders, signaling a potential opportunity for Ryanair&#8217;s growth in 2027 or 2028.

Ryanair Faces Summer Turbulence as Boeing Delivery Delays Threaten Schedule

Airbus SE&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eadsy#OTC">EADSY</a>) said it has&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.airbus.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2023-12-airbus-delivers-first-aircraft-from-new-toulouse-final-assembly" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">delivered&nbsp;</a>its first Airbus A321neo assembled at its newest A320&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36261710/airbus-lands-mega-deal-turkish-airlines-orders-220-latest-generation-planes" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">Family Final Assembly Line in Toulouse.</a>&nbsp;
The A321neo, which will be operated by Pegasus Airlines, a low-cost carrier (LCC) in T&uuml;rkiye, is the first delivery from Airbus&#39; latest state-of-the-art production facility. Located in the former A380 &quot;Jean-Luc Lagard&egrave;re&quot; building, the assembly line reflects Airbus&#39; commitment to modernise and meet the growing global demand for the A321neo, which now accounts for nearly 65% of Airbus&#39; A320 Family order backlog.
Pegasus Airlines&#39; current Airbus fleet stands at 93 aircraft, including 6 A320ceo, 46 A320neo and 41 A321neo. The airline also has 68 A321neos on order.&nbsp;
The delivery of the aircraft to Pegasus Airlines marks the start of the ramp-up of the new Toulouse FAL, which, together with the other A320 Family FALs in Hamburg (Germany), Mobile (USA), and Tianjin (China), will contribute to Airbus&#39; objective of producing 75 A320 Family aircraft per month in 2026.
Earlier this month,&nbsp;easyJet Plc&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/esyjy#OTC">ESYJY</a>) confirmed an order for 157 additional A320neo Family aircraft from Airbus,&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36301657/easyjet-confirms-mega-order-for-airbus-aircraft-strengthening-its-fleet-with-a320neo-and-a321neo" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">along with purchase rights for 100 more aircraft.</a>
easyJet said 56 A320neo and 101 A321neo aircraft will be delivered between FY29 and FY34, while 35 A320neo already on order will be converted into larger A321neo aircraft.

Airbus Breaks Ground With Pegasus Airlines: Unveils First A321neo From Cutting-Edge Toulouse Assembly Line

easyJet Plc&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/esyjy#OTC">ESYJY</a>) (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ejttf#OTC">EJTTF</a>) has confirmed an <a href="http://mediacentre.easyjet.com/story/16519/easyjet-confirms-order-for-157-airbus-aircraft">order </a>for 157 additional A320neo Family aircraft from&nbsp;Airbus SE&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eadsy#OTC">EADSY</a>), along&nbsp;with purchase rights for 100 more aircraft.
easyJet said 56 A320neo and 101 A321neo aircraft will be delivered between FY29 and FY34, while 35 A320neo already on order will be converted into larger A321neo aircraft.
The large order and replacement is expected to allow easyJet to grow its capacity through a combination of incremental aircraft, speedy upgauging to larger aircraft, and replace approximately half of the A320ceo aircraft.

The initiative will help easyJet in steering towards disciplined growth and bringing cost and sustainability improvements to the business.
The airline already has 69 A320neo Family aircraft in its fleet and an existing order book with Airbus to FY29 for a further 158 A320neo Family aircraft still to be delivered.
With limited delivery slots in the market for narrow body aircraft until at least 2029, the latest confirmation ensures a supply of future delivery slots between FY29 and FY34 to retain its current scale.
The newer aircraft will deliver a 13% to 30% unit fuel burn efficiency improvement and are relatively quieter, with half the noise footprint of the older aircraft they are replacing.

Aerospace Giant RTX Picks Christopher Calio To Succeed Gregory Hayes As CEO In May 2024

RTX Corp&#39;s&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rtx#NYSE">RTX</a>) Collins Aerospace disclosed a collaboration with&nbsp;easyJet PLC&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/esyjy#OTC">ESYJY</a>) to activate GlobalConnectSM connected aircraft services on over 330&nbsp;Airbus SE&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eadsy#OTC">EADSY</a>)&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/23/12/n36063583/easyjet-collaborates-with-rtx-to-enhance-operations" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">aircraft in its fleet.</a>
RTX plans to progressively activate GlobalConnect services across easyJet&#39;s fleet in the coming months, starting before the year&#39;s end.
With the deal, easyJet will become the largest A320 operator globally to deploy GlobalConnect, with the new capability boosting safety oversight, pilot training, and operational efficiencies.
The adoption of this data exchange and analytics capability aids in simplifying the avionics architecture, and curtailing the additional weight can drive savings of up to 500 tonnes of carbon annually (when rolled out fleet-wide).

RTX's Collins Aerospace Joins Hand With easyJet To Boost Aircraft Efficiency

In response to the recent Hamas militant assault on Israel, numerous global airlines have reportedly suspended their flights to Tel Aviv, citing security concerns, and will await safer conditions before restarting their services.
The act by Hamas on Saturday resulted in the tragic loss of 700 Israeli lives and the capture of several individuals, marking the most devastating attack since the Yom Kippur war five decades prior, leading Israel to launch a counteroffensive against the Gaza region in Palestine, reported Reuters.
Major American carriers, including&nbsp;United Airlines Holdings, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ual#NASDAQ">UAL</a>),&nbsp;Delta Air Lines, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dal#NYSE">DAL</a>), and&nbsp;American Airlines Group, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aal#NASDAQ">AAL</a>), reportedly announced the suspension of their direct flights.
European airlines such as&nbsp;Air France-KLM&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aflyy#OTC">AFLYY</a>)&nbsp;&nbsp;and Finland&#39;s&nbsp;Finnair Oyj&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fnnnf#OTC">FNNNF</a>) have also reportedly temporarily halted their services to Tel Aviv.
Typically, these U.S.-based airlines operate direct routes from prominent cities, including New York, Chicago, Washington, DC, and Miami.
The report noted that United clarified its stance by mentioning that while it did operate two flights from Israel to the U.S. late on Saturday and early Sunday, the current situation prompted a pause in services.
The report further added that Delta has also affirmed the cancellation of its flights &quot;into this week&quot; and will adjust schedules based on the evolving conditions.
EasyJet Plc&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/esyjy#OTC">ESYJY</a>) of Britain reportedly joined in by announcing the suspension of its flights on Sunday and Monday, hinting at potential changes in flight schedules for the days to come.
The report added that Hainan Airlines, the sole Chinese airline offering flights between Israel and China, called off its Tel Aviv-Shanghai flights for Monday due to the security landscape in Israel.
Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cpcaf#OTC">CPCAF</a>) has also canceled its Hong Kong-Tel Aviv route for Tuesday, with updates expected for the next flight on Thursday. Meanwhile,&nbsp;Korean Air Lines Co Ltd&nbsp;axed its Monday service from Incheon to Tel Aviv, projecting unpredictable scheduling for subsequent flights, the report added.
Price Action: UAL shares are trading down by 2% in premarket at $40.98 on the last check Monday.

Several Airlines Hit Pause On Tel Aviv Amid Rising Tensions: Report

After easyJet plc (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/esyjy#OTC">ESYJY</a>) showed robust summer bookings last week, Ryanair Holdings plc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ryaay#NASDAQ">RYAAY</a>) joined the trend today as its quarter results show that consumers are prioritizing travel despite persistently high inflation that is squeezing their budgets.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Ryanair reported a near-record annual profit while everyone, including Expedia Group (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expe#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) and IAG who owns British Airways, expects travel to stay hot this summer.&nbsp;
<h3>Flying Back To Profit</h3>
During the year ended in March,&nbsp;Ryanair has bounced back to a near-record &euro;1.4&nbsp;billion ($1.57 billion)&nbsp;profit,&nbsp;after&nbsp;making&nbsp;a &euro;355m loss&nbsp;the previous year. The delivered profit also exceeded analyst and the company&rsquo;s own expectations, coming close to the record profit from the pre-pandemic 2018 that amounted to&nbsp;&euro;1.45 billion.&nbsp;While the European airline industry hasn&rsquo;t fully recovered, operating at about 95% pre-Covid capacity, Ryanair was operating at 125% of its pre-pandemic capacity, continuing on this growth trajectory.&nbsp;
<h3>Ambitiously Reaching For The Stars</h3>
With its largest-ever summer schedule that covers nearly 2,500 routes with 3,000 daily flights, Ryanair expects to be flying 186 million passengers this year. Its long-term goal by 2034 is to transport 300 million passengers annually, which is more than any airline has done so far. Ryanair has spent $40 billion to purchase 300 new aircrafts from The Boeing Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ba#NYSE">BA</a>) as it continues pursuing its ambitious agenda.
<h3>A Cautiously Optimistic Outlook</h3>
CEO Michael O&rsquo;Leary was cautiously optimistic while expecting profits to further increase, but moderately, this year and therefore, topping the 2018&rsquo;s record with robust demand. Although summer demand is expected to be strong, soaring fuel costs need to be hedged effectively. Moreover, winter and the off-peak periods will be the ultimate test. Also, Boeing delivery delays could hamper 2024&rsquo;s capacity.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>The Promise Of Its Multibillion-Dollar Deal With Boeing</h3>
The&nbsp;300&nbsp;ordered jets&nbsp;from Boeing&nbsp;are expected&nbsp;enable&nbsp;traffic to grow to 300 million passengers&nbsp;annually by&nbsp;March 2034. Ryanair will be adding 110 new Boeing jets over the next tree summer and therefore, open remarkable opportunities for the Irish airline. But Boeing&rsquo;s delays in deliveries could potentially reduce first half passenger numbers by as many as 750,000 with the airline already expecting to be 10 jets short in June and July. O&rsquo;Leary expects deliveries to go smoother next summer as aircrafts for the summer of 2024 should arrive by the end of next May.
<h3>The Covid-19 Pandemic Made Travel &lsquo;More Resistant&rsquo; To Inflation&nbsp;</h3>
Despite inflation weakening consumer spending, it is crystal clear that European consumers are prioritizing travel over other types of entertainment.
