The Irish airline said the planned delivery of 210 Boeing (NYSE:BA) 737 MAX jets over the next five years will enable it to accelerate post-pandemic growth “as opportunities open up at primary and secondary airports all over Europe, particularly where legacy carriers have failed or reduced fleet sizes”.

Ryanair, Europe’s largest low-cost carrier, was flying 149 million passengers a year before the pandemic.
