Ryanair sees shortfall in Boeing aircraft delivery

In this article:

MILAN, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Budget airline Ryanair Holdings now expects to receive 50 new Boeing aircraft by the end of June rather than the 57 it originally expected by April, Chief Executive Michael O'Leary said on Tuesday.

The delivery delays, which began well before the current safety alert on some Boeing planes, could cost Europe's largest budget airline some 2 or 3 million passengers this year due to reduced capacity, O'Leary added during a news conference in Milan.
