Ryanair's Michael O'Leary said: "We are delighted to take delivery of our first new technology Gamchanger aircraft. "These new Boeing 737 aircraft will help Ryanair lower costs, cut fuel consumption and lower noise and CO2 emissions as we invest heavily in new technology to deepen our environmental commitment as Europe's greenest, cleanest major airline. "Each B737 aircraft offers 197 seats (compared to our 189-seat current 737 fleet). "However, our customers will enjoy more leg room, new Boeing "Sky Interiors" and lower fares, while reducing their environmental footprint by switching to these new aircraft. "Due to regrettable delivery delays, we expect to take delivery of just 12 of these aircraft during Summer 2021, with 6 delivering in Ryanair colours and 6 in Malta Air colours.
