Passenger growth continues at LJLA with 22% increase in February

Growth in passenger throughput at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) continued in February with 22% more passengers choosing to fly through LJLA compared to February 2015.

Almost 60,000 more passengers used LJLA last month compared to the same period last year.

All six airlines currently operating from Liverpool are reporting higher passenger load factors and increased capacity which has contributed to the growing numbers, as more passengers chose to fly through LJLA in February.

This month sees the start of a number of new services from Liverpool too. Vueling are due to start their inaugural service to Barcelona and Wizz Air are set to commence flights to both Budapest and Katowice. March also sees the return of Czech Airlines with their twice weekly flights to Prague, following their successful peak summer season last year.

2015 was Liverpool John Lennon Airport’s busiest year since 2012 with an 8% passenger increase compared to 2014 and the new services starting later this month are expected to contribute towards a continued upsurge in business at the Airport in 2016.
