Ryanair site to go off-line tonight

Ryanair has announced its website and mobile app will be unavailable for a number of hours tonight.

The shutdown, which is part of a system upgrade, will start at 9pm and will last for five hours. The airline said the site and app should both be operational again from 2am tomorrow.

A spokesperson from Ryanair said the upgrade is to allow for essential system maintenance to take place, in preparation for the launch of the airline’s new website this autumn.
