Passenger numbers at Liverpool John Lennon Airport are still about 30% down on pre-pandemic figures despite "growing steadily", according to a new report.
A document compiled for the airport’s consultative committee has detailed the recovery at John Lennon and laid out how since the lifting of international travel restrictions, almost 320,000 passengers used the airport in April, the highest monthly figures since the start of the pandemic.
It said: "While these passenger figures are encouraging the airport continues its recovery, still operating at just over 70% of pre-pandemic passenger numbers in April 2019 and for the year to date 44% down on the same first four months of the year in 2019."
