John Lennon Airport expect 750,000 passengers this summer

Liverpool John Lennon Airport are expecting to see 750,000 passengers for their summer getaways.

With the busiest time of year for LJLA set to begin as schools break up for the summer holidays, the international airport is expecting to see 750,000 passengers visit the airport.

Many families will use the six-week break to take their main holiday of the year and the airport expect to see a 5% increase from last years numbers of the same period.

As well as 10 new destinations, jet-setters can still travel to 60 popular destinations on offer, with most expected to be headed for Mediterranean locations.

This weekend alone, more than 25,000 passengers are scheduled to take flight from LJLA. With an influx of passengers, the airport have asked people to arrive earlier due to longer queues.

Robin Tudor, Head of PR at LJLA commented, “The Airport is recognised as the region’s faster, easier, friendlier airport and with holidaymakers choosing to take advantage of the many great value for money direct flights from here, we expect this to be one of our busiest Summers for some time.

“Whilst queue times at the Airport are still some of the shortest around, we do advise that passengers should allow plenty of time to pass through the Airport at this particularly busy time as well as leaving plenty of time for their journey to the Airport too.”
