LJLA sees growth continue

A busy January for Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) helped take passenger numbers for the month to over 320,000 – an increase of 5% compared to January 2016 and the Airport's 24th consecutive month of passenger growth.

The Airport’s recent success began in February 2015 after which time passenger numbers have increased every month for the past two years compared to the same period the year before.

The Airport has seen a growth in passenger numbers, airlines and services over the past two years with annual throughput increasing by over 800,000 passengers.
