The aviation industry's recent struggles have been well-documented, but Liverpool John Lennon Airport has appeared to buck the trend.
Many larger airports across the United Kingdom have had a difficult first full summer after the end of covid restrictions. Locally, Manchester Airport has been hit with complaints about long queues (at times stretching into car parks), delays and lost luggage throughout the spring and summer.
Chaotic scenes have beset its operations this year - with many branding the delays and the general experience as "shambolic". Passengers travelling through Manchester Airport are still being warned to expect "longer than usual" queues at the airport. It has cited staffing issues and a spike in international travel after the pandemic as the primary reasons for its struggles.
