Aer Lingus app and website shut down ahead of busy travel weekend – The Irish Times

Irish airline Aer Lingus’ website and mobile apps are down at Dublin Airport ahead of one of the busiest travel weekends.

Aer Lingus said it expects flights to operate normally but warned of the risk of delays.

The airline apologized for the inconvenience and said in a statement that it was working to resolve the issue.

“Customers should allow extra time for check-in and also check local airport website/screens for flight information,” it said.

Dublin Airport expects 485,000 passengers to pass through its gates between Thursday and Monday.

Passengers departing from Dublin Airport are advised to be at their terminal two hours before a short-haul flight and three hours before a long-haul flight.

Demand for parking spaces at Dublin Airport is very high at Easter as some days are almost sold out.

The airport said improvements were made for the weekend, including decluttering, faster security times and extra seating.

Dublin Airport operator daa reports that so far this year 92% of passengers have been through the central security checkpoints in less than 20 minutes. -PA
