Machinists union members ratified a new contract with Boeing on Saturday, ending an eight-week strike that cut the airplane maker's profits and stalled jetliner deliveries.
The workers are expected to return to Boeing's commercial airplane factories, which have been closed since the Sept. 6 walkout, starting Sunday night.
Thus, FR can now plan its summer schedules (including some additional routes, presumably) basing on the assumption that the new deliveries will have a 6-week delay. Quite a fortunate coincidence from the Ryanair's point of view (will be compensated for the planes it really doesn't need right now, but will get enough of them for the best season)...
