The carrier received 11 new 737 MAX aircraft—which Ryanair dubs "Gamechanger" for their lower fuel consumption coupled with higher capacity—during the last three months of 2022, taking the total number of that type to 84 in an overall fleet of 523 aircraft. The budget carrier has announced over 230 new routes for its 2024 financial year, which runs from April 2023 to March 2024, making for a total of 2,450 routes with 3,200 daily flights. O'Leary has previously expressed frustration at Boeing delivery delays, but the airline is now receiving MAXs. Ryanair is not planning to start retiring its older 737-800s until 2026, with current growth opportunities meaning it does not make sense to retire them yet, he told Aviation Week in a recent interview. The company is basing its growth plan for fiscal 2024 on having 124 737 MAXs in its fleet for the peak summer 2023 season."Although there is a risk (despite recent Boeing production improvements) that some of our Gamechanger deliveries could slip," Ryanair said.
