Three-day site closure ‘won’t cost Ryanair a penny’

THE boss would welcome a recession and now Ryanair has claimed that the closure of its website for three days won’t cost the company a penny.

The airline’s popular website, responsible for the vast majority of its bookings, will go offline for 73 hours from 10pm on February 22 until 11pm on February 25 for what the company calls an “essential system upgrade” as it moves to a new reservations system.

Ryanair stressed all passenger travel will be unaffected during the period when the website is offline — and claimed its profits would follow suit.
