Ryanair to create 200 technology jobs

Ryanair announced it is creating 200 technology jobs in Dublin as the airline moves to improve its digital presence.

The announcement followed traffic figures which showed that Ryanair had seen its monthly traffic for March fall by 200,000 passengers. The low-cost airline said the date that Easter fell on had had an impact.

Despite the fall in monthly figures the airline is confident that, with the help of its new digital platform and new bases, traffic will grow from 81.5m to over 84m passengers.
