Ryanair has confirmed it will take delivery of up to 29 new Boeing 737 aircraft in 2025 – representing a $3bn investment in new aircraft technology that will create over 2,000 new jobs for highly paid aviation professionals in Europe.
Ryanair said its new B737 aircraft, which cut CO2 emissions by 16% and noise by 40% (while carrying 4% more passengers), will be allocated to efficient, low-cost airports in EU countries where governments are stimulating aviation growth, like Sweden, Italy, Spain, and Poland. There will be no growth in countries raising taxes, like the UK, France, and Germany, it added.
Ryanair’s Head of Communications, Jade Kirwan said: “While most of Europe’s airlines remain capacity constrained, Ryanair is on track to take delivery of 29 new Boeing 737 aircraft in 2025. This additional capacity will enable Ryanair to grow our passengers from 200 million in 2024 to 210 million in 2025, and create 2,000 new jobs for highly paid aviation professionals at many of Europe’s most efficient, low-cost airports, where governments are stimulating sustainable aviation growth by abolishing aviation taxes and lowering airport fees.”
