Boeing 737 timeline updates

Ryanair holds a firm order for 150 Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft placed in 2023, with options for another 150. (rte.ie)) CEO Michael O’Leary told Reuters he expects FAA certification of the MAX 10 in the third quarter of 2026, a timeline more specific than Boeing’s public guidance. (lse.co.uk)) Boeing’s finance team has flagged certification of the MAX‑10 as “later in 2026” while also telling investors it plans to raise 737 output from the low‑40s to about 47 jets per month by mid‑2026 and pursue a 53‑per‑month goal by year‑end. (cnbc.com)) Executives have indicated Boeing will build a modest run of MAX‑10 airframes in 2026 to stockpile for 2027 handovers, with some reporting that roughly 30 MAX‑10s are targeted to be built next year for delivery the year after. (ainvest.com)) Ryanair is already preparing operations for the type—company filings and press reporting say Boeing gave Ryanair written assurances on early‑2027 deliveries and the carrier has accelerated pilot recruitment and cadet intake with a reported €25m‑per‑year training push. (aerospaceglobalnews.com)) United announced in September 2025 that it will replace Guam’s Boeing 737‑800 fleet with ten 737 MAX 8s, specifying the first MAX‑8 arrival for February 2026 and aircraft interiors with seatback screens, Bluetooth, and up to 166 seats per aircraft. (united.mediaroom.com)) Regional reporting and fleet trackers say the Guam swap has already begun with the first of the ten MAX‑8s reported arriving as the rollout starts, while United’s press materials tie the aircraft change to concurrent lobby and customer‑experience upgrades at Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport. (aerotime.aero))
