Liverpool John Lennon Airport (JLA) continues to recover from the pandemic, welcoming double the number of passengers this January as it did in the first month of 2022.
The airport welcomed 239,480 passengers in January 2023, more than double the 103,322 who passed through in January 2022, when covid-related travel restrictions were in place and the Omicron variant remained prominent.
It is also a stark increase from the 16,099 passengers that used the airport in January 2021. Though this January marks the airport's best start to a year since the pandemic, its numbers are still 23% down from January 2020.
