Record year for Liverpool Airport
06.01.08
500,000 more passenger used Liverpool Airport in 2007 than a year earlier, with a record 5.5 million travellers passing through its terminal last year, up 11% on 2006. New routes and the city's raised profile ahead of culture year were given as the main reasons for the rise.
Over the last 12 months a number of new destinations have been added, meaning passengers can now fly to more than 60 European cities from the airport, including Budapest, Tenerife and Salzburg.
The growth in European routes is largely due to rapid expansion by the airport's two biggest route airlines, Ryanair and easyJet, both of which added new routes in the last year. A third budget operator, Wizz Air, which specialises in flights to Eastern Europe, is also growing rapidly at the airport.
