Liverpool John Lennon Airport celebrates busiest year on record

Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) is celebrating its busiest year ever, with over 5.6 million passengers travelling through the airport in 2025.

The Airport has seen growth in passenger numbers and services throughout 2025, with many months breaking previous all time records and following one of the busiest Decembers for the airport, annual passenger totals for 2025 were 11% up on 2024.

The continued expansion of services with the airport’s three main operators easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2 throughout the past 12 months, all contributed to LJLA’s record breaking year.

2025 has been a year of passenger improvements at LJLA too, ensuring the airport’s reputation for offering one of the UK’s best airport passenger experiences continued. This included the installation of the latest generation security equipment and the completion of an 18 month multi-million pound programme developing a range of new and upgraded food and beverage areas in the Departure Lounge and the opening of an all new and expanded Aspire Executive Lounge last Autumn.

John Irving, CEO Liverpool John Lennon Airport, commented:

“To break our all time passenger record last year is a tremendous achievement for the airport and all our business partners based here and is testament to all the hard work that has gone into making Liverpool the successful airport it is today.

It is something we are all tremendously proud of and as we look ahead at the start of 2026, I firmly believe we will go on to greater success, continuing to grow the business and give passengers across the City Region, the wider North West and North Wales ever more opportunities to continue to make Liverpool their airport of choice.”

We know we can’t rest on our laurels and will continue to invest in further facilities all aimed at ensuring our passengers can take advantage of the faster, easier, friendlier benefits of flying from Liverpool.”
