About Ryanair's Boeing 737 MAX 10s Ryanair revealed that its Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft will contain 228 seats each (21% more than its Boeing 737-800s). The Irish low-cost carrier will take delivery of these new, larger aircraft between 2027 and 2033.

Yes, as of early 2026, Ryanair operates one of the world's largest fleets of the Boeing 737 MAX. Specifically, the airline has integrated approximately 196 Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 aircraft into its 611-plane fleet. The "8-200" is a specialized, high-capacity variant of the MAX 8 that was designed specifically for low-cost carriers; it features an extra pair of exit doors and can accommodate 197 passengers, which is 8 more than the standard MAX 8. Ryanair markets these planes as "Gamechangers" because they are 40% quieter and 16% more fuel-efficient than the older 737-800 models they are replacing. By February 2026, Ryanair has received the vast majority of its initial order for 210 MAX aircraft, and these jets now serve as the backbone of their medium-haul and high-density routes across Europe. While the airline also has a massive future order for the even larger MAX 10 variant, the MAX 8-200 is currently the most modern and prominent aircraft in their "yellow and blue" livery, helping the carrier maintain its status as the world's most profitable low-cost airline.
