Liverpool
is home Europe’s fastest growing airport – Liverpool John Lennon Airport [map] – which has been running scheduled flights since
1930. These days, regular services operate to more than 30 holiday destinations, including Corfu, Gran Canaria, Ibiza and Turkey. Easyjet, the popular low cost airline, who began flights from Liverpool in 1997, signed a 20-year contract with the airport in 2001 whilst Ryanair has also signed a 10-year agreement. In July 2001 the airport became the first in the UK to be named after an individual – former Beatle and pop icon John Lennon, who hailed from Liverpool. The airport’s logo now includes the famous self portrait drawing by John Lennon and the caption “above us only sky”, taken from the lyrics of Lennon’s “Imagine”, one of the most popular songs of all time. In 2002 Yoko Ono unveiled a 7ft bronze statue of her late husband designed by well-known local sculptor Tom Murphy. The imposing statue is sited on the main passenger walkway, overlooking the check-in hall and is clearly visible to all airport users. As the airport has continued to grow so has the number of facilities available to passengers, and now you’ll find executive lounges, restaurants, bars and even a prayer room. The shops on offer in the departure lounge include WH Smith, Thomas Cook, Boots and The Sock Shop, while eateries include O’Brien’s Irish Coffee Bar, Esturary Food Village and the Daytripper Bar. |
