Dear dear me. I hope its temporary! :)
It was.....in fact ten minutes!
Any guesses how much that is in potential lost revenue?

Are we talking easyJet (known as the web's favourite airline) or Ryanair (which is)?
Assuming the latter:
2,140,000 pax per month = 71,000 a day (assuming bookings flow evenly)
71,000 a day = 2958 an hour
or about 500 in 10 minutes.
Average spend £40 = £20,000.
Almost an afternoon's pay...
If it's EZY, a few less pax, a bit higher revenue - the answer's close.

10 minutes - I am sure it was much more than that!
I checked the website so many times, in the end I gave up. I wouldn't be surprised if the actual down time was more than an hour.

Now Now, Easyjet do a good job and are usually quite effcient.
