Air fares in Europe’s peak summer months are likely to rise again this year by up to 10%, according to Ryanair due to problems with Boeing and Airbus planes.
The increase will come on top of a sharp rise in the price of holiday flights since the pandemic last year, when high demand exceeded the limited capacity of European airlines.
The Irish low-cost airline’s chief executive, Michael O’Leary, said Ryanair may still have to cut its flight schedules, which are built around the expected delivery of 50 of the 57 Boeing Max 737-8200s on order.
Quality control problems at the U.S. manufacturer that came to light after part of the fuselage of an Alaska Airlines Max-9 exploded mid-flight last month have delayed production and deliveries.
O’Leary also said prices would be higher in part due to problems with the Airbus A320’s Pratt & Whitney engines, which have forced some of them to be grounded by airlines including Wizz Air and Lufthansa, pariteni said. .bg.
