Aer Lingus has apologised to customers after its website and mobile app suffered outages this morning.

According to the Aer Lingus, the outages were the result of "essential maintenance" work.

The issue has now been resolved. 

"All Aer Lingus flights are operating as normal today," the airline said in an update this afternoon.

"The Aer Lingus website, mobile app and self-service kiosks are now fully available for customers to check-in and manage their bookings."

The outages would have been unwelcome news to the hundreds of thousands of passengers due to travel into and out of the country over the coming Easter weekend. 

Just under 500,000 people are set to pass through Dublin airport alone between today and Monday, making it the busiest weekend of the year thus far.

Cork Airport is expecting to see 102,000 people pass through its gates during the Easter holiday period.
