Ryanair received the first Boeing 737 MAX 8200 "Gamechanger". The aircraft flew overnight from Seattle and landed in Dublin around 18:00 on June 16. This is the first delivery of the firm order of 210 737 MAX aircraft placed by RYANAIR. These revolutionary "Gamechanger" aircraft are an investment in new technology, valued at over $ 22 billion.

These new Boeing 737s will help Ryanair reduce costs, reduce fuel consumption and reduce noise and CO2 emissions, as we invest heavily in new technology to strengthen our commitment to the environment as greener and cleaner. European airline. Each Boeing 737 MAX 8200 aircraft offers 197 seats (compared to our current fleet of 737-seat Boeing 189 aircraft). However, our customers will enjoy more legroom, Boeing "Sky Interior" and lower fares, while reducing their environmental footprint by switching to these new aircraft.
Due to unfortunate delivery delays, we expect to receive only 12 of these aircraft in the summer of 2021, with 6 in Ryanair colors and 6 in Malta Air colors.
