Boeing Maintains Delivery Timeline for 737 Max 10 Amid Market Skepticism
Boeing's (NYSE:BA) shares dipped slightly in Thursday trading despite assurances from Ryanair (RYAAY) that its 737 Max 10 orders remain on track. CEO Michael O'Leary confirmed the aircraft is expected to be certified by Q3 2026, with deliveries commencing in spring 2027. Boeing provided written confirmation of the timeline, marking a shift from O'Leary's previous cautious optimism.
The aerospace giant's backlog extends years into the future, with current orders unlikely to materialize before the decade's end. Market reaction suggests lingering investor concerns despite the improved delivery outlook. Ryanair's strengthened confidence—from "optimistic, but not confident" to firm belief in no delays—highlights Boeing's progress in restoring trust.
