After the coronavirus pandemic put pay to international travel for the most of the previous two years, 2022 saw Liverpool John Lennon Airport work to recover.
Navigating the challenges have not been straightforward, but Liverpool Airport has won plenty of praise over the past 12 months. The airport managed to avoid most of the problems which beset others up and down the country - particularly in the summer.
