04:05 PM EDT, 08/27/2025 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with Federal Aviation Administration statement in the fifth and sixth paragraphs.)

Ryanair ( RYAOF ) expects Boeing ( BA ) to increase its monthly production of 737 airplanes to 42 per month from 38 by October, Ryanair ( RYAOF ) Chief Executive Michael O'Leary told journalists in London on Wednesday, according to media reports.

O'Leary said that he had spoken to Boeing Commercial Airplanes Head Stephanie Pope on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

Bloomberg reported that Boeing ( BA ) has already accelerated deliveries of its 737 Max planes to Ryanair ( RYAOF ), which is one of its largest clients, and expects to receive 25 737 jets between August and October.

Reuters reported that Boeing ( BA ) is waiting for the US Federal Aviation Administration to remove a limit of 38 planes per month on the production of its 737 Max planes, which the regulator ordered after a January 2024 mid-air emergency with an Alaska Airlines (ALK) 737.

A FAA spokesperson told MT Newswires the regulator "continues to conduct rigorous oversight of Boeing's ( BA ) production processes."

"If Boeing ( BA ) requests a production rate increase, onsite FAA safety inspectors will conduct extensive planning and reviews with Boeing ( BA ) to determine if they can safely produce more aircraft," the FAA spokesperson said. "Our heightened level of oversight of Boeing ( BA ) will continue."

Boeing ( BA ) didn't immediately respond to a request for comment by MT Newswires.
