Ryanair Operates 579 Boeing 737s, Remains Europe's Largest Fleet
Ryanair's Boeing 737 fleet remains Europe's largest, totaling 579 aircraft as of late April 2025.
Fleet Composition
The fleet comprises 410 Boeing 737-NG aircraft (700 and 800 series) and 162 Boeing 737 MAX 8200 aircraft, plus six private jets, according to Flightradar24 data. The company has firm orders for 150 Boeing 737 MAX 10s with options for an additional 150, signaling continued growth plans.
Current Operations
Flightradar24's live tracking shows Ryanair's 737 fleet remains active through February 2026. Flight SP-RSM, a 737-8AS, departed Málaga for Milan-Bergamo on Feb. 26, 2026, illustrating the airline's continued deployment of its flagship aircraft. New deliveries follow a standard route from Boeing Field in Seattle to Dublin via Canada, Greenland and Iceland, before ferrying to European bases such as Wrocław.
Industry Context
Analysts note that global supply-chain delays and U.S. trade tariffs are slowing Boeing deliveries, which may influence Ryanair's future procurement decisions. The airline maintains a strong safety record, with Flightradar24 reporting only one hull loss—a 737-800 that experienced a heavy landing in Rome Ciampino due to a bird strike.
