Passenger numbers at Liverpool John Lennon airport continue to increase

Liverpool John Lennon Airport experienced a growth in of 7.5% in passenger numbers in May, the fourth consecutive year on year monthly increase in passenger throughput.

In May 2015 it had 403,918 passengers (375,623 in May 2014).

May’s figures follow previous encouraging monthly increases and follow on from a number of recent new route announcements which are expected to help the growth in passenger numbers continue throughout 2015.

These include Flybe flights to Amsterdam with onward worldwide connections starting in September and Aer Lingus flights to Dublin with onward US connections starting in October.

Its year to date numbers for January to May 2015 was 1.6m (1.5m for Jan – May 2014).

Passenger figures for the first five months of 2015 are now over 5% higher than for the same period in 2014 and reflect the recent upsurge in business at the Airport.

Head of PR Robin Tudor, said: “Much of the hard work by all employees here at the airport to deliver a great customer experience is paying off.

“More passengers from across the North West are now choosing to fly from Liverpool, taking advantage of the faster, easier, closer and friendlier experience when they fly from here.

“It’s been a really successful first few months of the year for the airport, both in terms of this increase in passengers and also a number of new services that we have recently announced too.”
