Boeing Delivers 206 of 210 737-8200 Jets, Accelerates Output Post-Strike
Boeing has delivered 206 of the 210 Boeing 737-8200 aircraft contracted by Ryanair as of December 2025, with the final four jets set for delivery by end-February 2026. Post-strike production recovery is accelerating output, potentially boosting Boeing’s fiscal 2026 commercial revenue and backlog fulfillment.
1. Ahead-of-Schedule 737-8200 Deliveries
Boeing has completed delivery of 206 of the 210 Boeing 737-8200 aircraft contracted by Ryanair under its 2014 agreement, with the remaining four jets on track for delivery by the end of February 2026. This ahead-of-schedule fulfillment reflects improved assembly line efficiency following earlier disruptions.
2. Impact on Ryanair Traffic Outlook
The timely delivery of modern, fuel-efficient 737-8200 aircraft allowed Ryanair to raise its fiscal 2026 traffic outlook to 208 million passengers, reinforcing its low-cost carrier expansion and supporting increased firm order conversion for Boeing. This validation of Boeing’s delivery performance underpins customer confidence.
3. Post-Strike Production Recovery
Efforts to recover from the late-2024 B737 production strike have accelerated output, reducing the backlog and positioning Boeing to recognize higher commercial revenue in fiscal 2026 as deliveries complete. Ongoing assembly improvements aim to sustain this momentum into next year.
