Ryanair Group CEO Michael O'Leary said on Saturday a prolonged Boeing workers' strike may cut the number of aircraft it receives by next summer to 20 from an anticipated 25.
But now, with this week's Boeing's workers' strike further threatening the airplane maker's turnaround, O'Leary said Ryanair might only receive 20 planes if the strike continues for three to four weeks.
"I have no doubt that Boeing will fix this strike," O'Leary told Ireland's Newstalk Radio.
Workers have been protesting all week in Boeing factories in the Seattle area that assemble Boeing's MAX, 777 and 767 jets.
Boeing and union negotiators will return to the bargaining table early next week as the two sides try to end a strike.
