Liverpool John Lennon Airport sees passenger numbers increase
The passenger numbers at Liverpool John Lennon Airport have increased by 3.5% in February 2015.
The airport has reported that this rise marked the first year-on-year monthly increase in passenger numbers in a year.
These monthly outputs were boosted by the addition of thrice weekly flights to both Bucharest (from Romanian carrier Blue Air) which began last year in 2014, and to Belfast City starting in February 2015.
A spokesman for the airport said:
“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.”
Liverpool John Lennon Airport is owned by Peel Group and serves airlines that include easyJet, Ryanair and FlyBe.
