Story

Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) is one of the UK’s longest established operational Airports having been officially opened on 1st July 1933.

LJLA is situated seven miles South East of Liverpool City Centre and adjacent to the River Mersey.

In June 2010, Vantage Airport Group (formerly Vancouver Airport Services) acquired a 65 percent majority share of LJLA from The Peel Group. The Peel Group retained a 35 percent share. The Peel Group had acquired a 76 percent majority shareholding in 1997 from British Aerospace and the remaining 24 percent shareholding in May 2001.

In April 2014, the Peel Group once again became the sole owner of LJLA. During the four years of Vantage ownership significant improvements were made to the Airport and it now provides a best in class airport experience for both passengers and airlines.

Peel believes that by investing in LJLA, the business can be taken to the next level, attracting new airlines and new services by capitalising on the excellent operational and commercial performance.

LJLA is one of the UK’s busiest airports and handled over 4.2 million passengers in 2013. Passenger numbers have increased almost ten-fold since the mid-1990′s, with the Airport moving from 20th to the 12th busiest airport in the UK with flights to approximately 60 destinations in the UK and across Europe.

The Airport has been at the forefront of low cost air travel since the mid 1990′s, when this growth sector of the airline industry started to develop. Airlines at JLA include two of Europe’s largest low cost airlines, easyJet and Ryanair, both of whom have large bases at JLA, offering a comprehensive network of point to point services. More recently, Wizz Air, the largest low-cost, low-fare airline in Central and Eastern Europe have developed their business from Liverpool and recently signed a further five year agreement, whilst FlyBe operate a popular service to the Isle of Man.

Significant investments in recent years include £130 million in a range of infrastructure works including a new and subsequently expanded terminal building, air traffic control centre, hangars, apron extensions, runway refurbishing and upgrading, multi-storey car park and on site hotel. Many of these projects also received support through the European Objective One programme and other regional funding. The new terminal was opened by Her Majesty the Queen in 2002.
A £12 million development programme has recently been completed providing a new larger passenger security screening area and an expanded departure lounge, including the addition of a number of new and exciting retailers.

This on-going investment in Airport facilities to provide an efficient operation and high levels of customer service has helped to firmly establish the Airport not only as a gateway to the North West but also as one of the primary airports in the UK. The Airport is now one of Merseyside’s major employers, attracting inward investment and bringing significant tourism benefits, helping to boost North West England’s economy.

In recent years, the importance and success of the Airport has been recognised both locally and within the travel industry, including receiving the accolade ‘UK Airport of the Year’ in 2007 from one of the industry’s leading trade media.

Liverpool was the UK’s first airport to be named after an individual when it was rebranded in 2001 as a lasting tribute to the Liverpool born, former Beatle, John Lennon.

Long stay parking is near the airport. You can walk it easily. That is good. Small airport so actually a good selection of food outlets. Best is possibly Frank and Bents but you pass this early on before getting to the other outlets. The bad is the baggage reclaim. Waited 50 minutes.

It's a good airport, but i wish they had more flights around the world. It's great going to places like Berlin, Krakow, any cities in Europe. But all I see is connecting flights. I think Manchester airport is better for flights around the globe. Go here of you want a cheap trip to Europe.

John Lennon would not like this airport. It blows chunks. But in all seriousness, it organized terribly. The whole thing feels like an after thought. When you arrive you have to pay 3£ to drop your bags close to the terminal. You seem to have to walk for a very long time due to in efficiency. The waiting area is terrible. There is a small food section with no variety. The boarding gate feels like a cattle holding container. A terrible experience. Improvements can be made but it would require bulldozers and a major attitude adjustment.

Easy airport to use. Some airline staff bordering on rude - unfortunately that's what you seemingly get with the low-cost airlines. The other staff within the airport are helpful and friendly. Passport control is excellent and general security seems to be in order for most potential incidents. Once through security there are a number of shop and cafe bars. Not much choice and typically at airport pricing. All in a all a small, but increasing in passenger volume, airport. Parking for drop-off and pick-up is easy with further facilities for short and long term.

The drop-off parking charge of £3.00 is outrageous and even worse is the £100.00 fine for stopping anywhere in the airport grounds, imposed by nasty little jobs worths. Taking your chance outside the airport is pure Russian roulette. Then there is the Mersey Gateway bridge scam. Over £1m in fines issued in the first month for the toll bridge that expects you to miraculously know which website to visit to pay!
