Ryanair expects the summer 2021 season to be an extended one and is preparing to have about 75% of its summer 2019 capacity ready to operate as the airline looks toward receiving its first Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
The airline group said it would achieve this by purchasing one million tons of sustainable jet fuel per year, which will allow it to cut its annual emissions by two million tons by 2030.
