There is a lot on the agenda for Liverpool John Lennon Airport (JLA) in 2023.
The Speke-based airport made progress to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic in 2022, serving approximately 80% of the capacity it welcomed in 2019. In the financial year to March 2023, JLA expects around four million passengers to have passed through its terminal and increasing that figure to five million remains the primary aim.
In December, the airport's CEO John Irving told the ECHO he expects to hit that landmark in 2024, at which point his team can begin to think about surpassing it. For 2023, he hopes JLA will be looking at around 4.5 million passengers served, which will represent continued progress.
