Ryanair website suffers New Year failure
04.01.11
Ryanair suffered an unfortunate website error on New Year’s Day, when users discovered they were unable to search for flights in 2011, Tnooz reports. The problem appears to have surfaced at around midnight GMT on New Year’s Day when users would be looking for flights in the coming months. Rather than seeing months for 2011 in the drop-down menus in flight search, visitors were greeted with months for the previous year, 2010.
Flights for 2011 could be found on the site prior to 1 January 2011 – meaning the error probably only kicked in as the calendar turned from 2010 to 2011. The budget airline took around 14 hours to fix the problem. It is unclear how many users were affected by the problem, but reaction was widespread and critical on social media channels such as Twitter.
