There are currently around 1,000 737NGs in service. The safety issue is completely different to the grounding of Boeing's new 737 Max aircraft - two of which have crashed claiming 346 lives He said: 'we have reduced our expectation of 30 Max aircraft being delivered to us in advance of peak summer 2020 down to 20 aircraft and there is a real risk of none'.Įurope's busiest airline has said it would cut flights and close some bases because of delays to deliveries of the plane, which has been grounded globally after two fatal crashes.ĭespite this, the airline's share price increased by approximately 9 per cent.

Ryanair announced earlier this week that it is unlikely it will receive its entire delivery of Boeing 737 Max aircraft next year following two fatal crashes resulting in a massive safety review. Hearings this week in the US Congress produced internal Boeing documents showing that company employees raised concerns about the design of a key flight-control system and the hectic pace of airplane production long before Max jets crashed in Indonesia and Ethiopia.

The hairline cracks on older 737s were discovered as Boeing works to get its newer 737 Max jets back in the air. The company said it is continuing to study the cause of the cracking and to consider whether newer planes - those with fewer than 22,600 flights, or takeoff-and-landing cycles - might also need to be checked.īoeing said it could not yet estimate how much it might have to pay for inspections and repairs. securities filing last week, Boeing acknowledged the possibility that pickle fork inspections could be expanded to even more planes. Ryanair's fleet includes more than 450 Boeing 737-800 aircraft.īoeing confirmed that around 50 aircraft worldwide will need to be repaired. The Boeing 737 NG aircraft include the 700, 800 and 900 models. The US Federal Aviation Administration advised all airlines using the Boeing 737 NG planes that had completed more than 30,000 takeoff-and-landing cycles to check for cracks. We continue to believe that we will not have any difficulty with our operating aircraft numbers or our fleet availability.'Įarlier, Australian airline Qantas said it found similar cracks on three of its aircraft. 'Having completed all the AD inspections on the small number of our fleet with over 30,000 cycles, we are now engaged in inspections of other aircraft in the fleet with under 30,000 cycles and we are not finding any further issues. The spokesperson added: 'We continue to fully comply with Airworthiness Directive, and do not expect these inspections or this tiny number of findings will have any impact on our operations or our fleet availability.
