Liverpool John Lennon Airport reports busiest month in its history

Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport has reported its busiest ever month this August with over 616,000 passenger using the Airport.

These latest figures beat the previous record set just last month when over 576,000 passengers travelled through the airport and is the first time that monthly passenger numbers have exceeded 600,000. This is a 12% increase compared to August last year and highlights the continued growing popularity of the airport amongst the region’s travellers.

4,000 flights operated to 73 destinations in 24 countries via Liverpool in August, with 8 of the top 10 busiest routes being to summer sun destinations. The busiest route however was closer to home with Dublin topping the list, whilst Palma, Alicante, Malaga and Faro were the top Mediterranean destinations.

Whilst the airport handled record passenger numbers last month it wasn’t at the expense of its renowned passenger experience, with 84% of all passengers passing through security in less than 10 minutes and 95%, in less then 15 minutes.

John Irving, CEO commented:

“Just last month we broke all previous records and as expected, here we are repeating this achievement, now going over 600,000 monthly passengers for the first time in our 92 year history.

The growing numbers of passengers choosing to fly from here this summer have been able to take advantage of the convenience of flying from Liverpool, along with our faster, easier, friendlier approach to the passenger experience, enjoying a host of new facilities which opened ahead of the peak summer season too.”
