"Subject to recertification, we hope that the first MAX will be delivered in November 2020. A beautiful Christmas present!" Ryanair Group CEO told Reuters.

If all goes according to plan and Boeing meets the production level of MAX aircraft, O'Leary anticipates that RYANAIR will have between 30 and 40 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in the fleet for the summer season 2021. The reception of the new 737 MAX aircraft could help increase and the development of RYANAIR.
