Ryanair say they will not now see their new MAX's in service before OCT...
MOL said yesterday -
One of the world’s largest airlines, Ryanair has 135 of the planes on order, but none in service. O’Leary has previously said it would not take orders in July or August because it is the airline’s busiest time of the year.
“We were meant to have 58 planes by the summer,” O’Leary said in the interview, extracts from which were published on Friday. “That went down to 30, then 20, then 10 and the latest is maybe only five. It’s possible we’ll only get the first jets in October 2020.
FR have a 737 MAX 8-200 version unique to them.
Implications for TUI UK will be likely the same for them...Therefore I can see any return to service in the main for TUI would be for the following summer in 2021.
TUI would not need new MAX deliveries to be introduced during the winter 20-21 season.
They have 6 grounded in UK/EU plus a handful of brand new ones parked up at Boeing.
TUI also had a large MAX -10 order that was to start to be fulfilled for S20
