Online and telephone reservations services, as well as web and kiosk check-in services were scheduled to be offline until 5am tomorrow as part of the upgrade.

The airline claimed there were "no major delays or long queues at airports" today as a result of the IT maintenance work.

Its web check-in service carried an image of a computer with a yellow post-it note taped to the front promising the service would be "back soon".
