We can’t rest on our laurels

It’s that time of year when many of us will be turning our attention away from the gloom of Winter towards plans for a welldeserved summer holiday and here at Liverpool John Lennon Airport we’re working hard to improve a number of facilities to ensure that we continue to give passengers choosing to start their holiday from here, the great airport experience that we have become known for.

Last year we were delighted to once again be voted the best UK Airport by consumer body Which? in their latest survey and by the end of the year over 5 million passengers had chosen to use the airport, taking us back to pre-covid levels for the first time.

This year we expect to see even more passengers choose to use Liverpool and we are working hard to prepare the airport ahead of the start of the summer season with a host of new and expanded facilities as part of the latest phase of multi-million-pound development works in the airport’s Departure Lounge.

We have recently opened the new Monty’s Diner which is a brand-new casual dining concept and an upgrade to the popular Kissing Gate Pub and Kitchen is due to be completed soon, along with new and refurbished coffee shops.

Then in May, we’ll be opening a new Aspire Premium Lounge for those passengers wanting to treat themselves before their flight which will be over twice the size of the existing facility.

But it’s not just the passenger facilities that are being developed further. Work is now underway to install a new £3m solar farm at the airport which will generate 25% of the airport’s current overall electricity demand, as part of a zero carbon future for the airport operation by 2040, making Liverpool the faster, easier and now environmentally friendlier airport too.
