Boeing strike could impact Ryanair deliveries

After weeks of negotiations, talks between Boeing Company and the International Association of Maschinists and Aerospace Workers finally broke down on Spetember 5 without reaching agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement. As a result a strike by 27,000 workers, mostly in Washington, Oregon and Kansas began at 12.01 am today. During the strike Boeing will continue to support existing customers. Aircraft which were completed prior to the strike will be delivered but no new aircraft will be assembled. The last tranch of Ryaniar deliveries was completed in mid June with an intended hiatus until early September. A total of seven aircraft are due to be delivered in September which should be unaffected by the strike. Deliveries beyond this month will very much depend on the duration of the strike.
