Ryanair Holdings Plc cut its passenger growth target for next year because of delivery delays from aircraft supplier Boeing Co.

The Irish low-cost carrier now expects 210 million passengers in fiscal 2026, down from a previous goal of 215 million, according to a statement on Monday. Ryanair said that nine aircraft planned for delivery in the fiscal third quarter will now arrive in the following three months because of an ongoing strike at the aircraft manufacturer.
