Passenger numbers are “growing steadily” at Liverpool Airport but remain around 30% down on pre-pandemic figures.
A report to the airport’s consultative committee has detailed the recovery at John Lennon as the UK continues its journey out of the Covid-19 pandemic. The document laid out how since the lifting of international travel restrictions, almost 320,000 passengers used Liverpool 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.” The delays at check-in and security seen at other airports is something Liverpool Airport has not experienced, with 98% of passengers said to have passed through security in under 15 minutes during April.
