Passenger numbers soaring at airport

INCREASES in passenger numbers seen at Liverpool John Lennon Airport  in recent months continued in January, with 20% more passengers choosing to fly through compared to the first month of 2015.

January’s figures completes 12 consecutive months of growth at Liverpool with just above 300,000 passengers passing through the Airport – 50,000 more than the same period last year.

Strong passenger figures on established routes, in addition to new services launched earlier last year to Amsterdam, Belfast, Dublin, Edinburgh and Riga, have all contributed to the growing numbers as more passengers chose to fly through LJLA in January.

Last year was the airport’s busiest year since 2012 with an 8% passenger increase compared to 2014.

Further passenger growth at Liverpool is expected to continue throughout 2016 with new and additional services due to commence in the coming months, reflecting the continued upsurge in business at the Airport.
