Budget airline Ryanair has said its website and mobile app will be shut down for a 12 hour period this week as the company implements a “systems upgrade”. Ryanair spokesman Robin Kiely said the airline was sorry for the inconvenience to passengers. Ryanair said load factor, a measure of how full its planes are, stood at 96 per cent for the period. Ryanair owns a 75 per cent stake in low-cost airline Laudamotion, which was founded by former Formula One champion Niki Lauda. Ryanair spokesman Kenny Jacobs said 80 per cent of flights during the month arrived at their destinations on time.
