Liverpool John Lennon Airport marks busiest October on record as summer season ends

Liverpool John Lennon Airport has rounded off its summer season with record-breaking passenger numbers, making this October the busiest in the airport’s history.

More than 527,000 passengers passed through Liverpool John Lennon Airport last month, a 13 per cent increase on October 2024 and the first time Liverpool has handled more than half a million passengers in October.

Across the month, travellers flew to 63 destinations. The top five were Dublin, Alicante, Malaga, Majorca and Belfast, while Barcelona, Amsterdam and Krakow proved most popular for international city breaks.

The boost caps off a huge summer for the airport. Between April and October, 3.8 million passengers used Liverpool John Lennon Airport, the highest ever for a summer season and a ten per cent rise on last year.

The airport says more passengers from across the north west and north Wales are choosing Liverpool thanks to its convenience and customer experience.

Paul Winfield, aviation director at LJLA, said:
“It’s been a great summer for the airport, with passenger numbers regularly breaking records. Just as important has been maintaining the highest levels of customer satisfaction. Our developments in the departure lounge and the new security equipment have helped ensure passengers continue to enjoy the faster, easier, friendlier experience we’re known for.”

With the summer season now finished, the airport has switched to its winter schedule.
