Boeing has asked Ryanair to send extra engineers to oversee quality checks of its planes “on the ground” following the Alaska Airlines incident.
Ryanair’s boss told the BBC that quality was improving but the incident had shown there was “more to be done”.
It comes after an unused door fell off a Boeing 737 Max 9 operated by US-based Alaska Airlines.

The airline is one of Boeing’s biggest customers for the 737 Max family, with more than 100 in service and due to have some 400 more by 2034.
Ryanair’s chief executive Michael O’Leary said that he expects delivery delays to affect its capacity.
Asked in an interview with the BBC if he had complete confidence in Boeing’s quality control processes after the incident which saw an unused door fall off, the Ryanair boss said “no”.
But he added that his airline did now have “more confidence” in plane maker Boeing.
Mr O’Leary also said that a delivery of 12 planes towards the end of last year had been “in terms of defects the best deliveries we’ve had in three years”.
