As a result, Ryanair\u2019s pre-Covid traffic of 149m is expected to grow to over 225m guests by March 2026, which is 25m passengers p.a. higher than the previous target of 200m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>See also: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/09\/ryanair-invests-in-new-training-center.html\"><em>Ryanair invests \u20ac50 million in new Training Center in Dublin.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ryanair will take delivery of 210 B737 Gamechanger aircraft over the next 5 years. These aircraft will deliver industry lowest costs, reduced emissions, and will enable Ryanair accelerate its post-Covid growth, as opportunities open up at primary and secondary airports all over Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe performance of the B737 Gamechanger aircraft this summer has exceeded our expectations. Operational reliability, fuel consumption, and lower CO2 emissions have so far exceeded guidelines with very positive passenger and crew feedback to these new, more fuel efficient, quieter aircraft&#8221;, Ryanair\u2019s Michael O\u2019Leary said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>See also: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/en\/2021\/09\/ryanair-negotiations-for-max-10-order.html\"><em>Ryanair negotiations for MAX 10 order end without agreement.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;With these new deliveries, Ryanair will open 10 new bases across Europe this year as we work with airport partners to help them recover traffic &amp; jobs post Covid, and take up slot opportunities that are being vacated by competitor airlines who have collapsed or significantly reduced their fleet sizes&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ryanair expects to create over 5,000 new jobs for pilots, cabin crew and engineers over the next 5 years, and the Group is excited to have, earlier this week, opened a \u20ac50m Aviation Training Centre in Dublin, with 2 further high quality training centres planned for Spain and Poland over the next 5 years&#8221;, O&#8217;Leary added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
