what happened
Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary told Reuters on Tuesday that he expects the FAA to finish approving the Boeing 737 MAX 10 in October. That would let the carrier, Europe's biggest airline, take 16 of the jets in early 2027.
The FAA said last month it was holding off on certification until a software problem that had only recently come to light is resolved. It is the latest hitch for the largest version of Boeing's best-selling jet, which has been slow to reach the market.
why it matters
For Boeing, prolonged certification keeps pressure on its delivery schedule and revenue. For Ryanair, a slip would push back fleet additions that underpin its growth plans.
