Additional details about the custom smartwatch offering will be released in the coming months.

"In the future, Ryanair wants to be able to provide information throughout a passenger's journey, from the second you go to bed in a hotel, to when you land and need to find your car, or book a taxi," said John Hurley, CTO of Ryanair, in a statement published by The Telegraph. "People want micro-moments, micro pieces of information."

Wearables - and specifically smartwatches - are expected to grow in popularity, but developers will need to create new offerings for these users. Smartphones and tablets already allow for a number of different services and customized services already created to make things easier.
