Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport sees record passenger growth

Liverpool John Lennon Airport experienced a growth in passenger numbers of 3.5% in February – the first year on year monthly increase in passenger throughput for 12 months.

February proved to be busier than other months following the addition of three times weekly flights to Bucharest with Blue Air which commenced in mid-December and three times daily flights to Belfast City which started at the beginning of February.

The school half term holidays towards the end of the month proved to be particularly busy too for the Airport, with families taking advantage of the quicker and easier access through the airport and the choice of flights to both Winter ski and sunshine destinations.

LJLA spokesman Robin Tudor told the Liverpool Echo: “We believe the seeds for this growth were sewn when we set up with Romanian airline Blue Air last year.

“Also, we have had seven new route announcements in the past two to three months, as well as ad hoc charter flights, such as Santa Claus trips to Lapland.”
