www.Parctel.com: This Bank Holiday weekend is forecast to be the busiest Easter ever with record numbers of passengers using Liverpool John Lennon Airport.
Around 61,000 passengers are expected to travel through JLA between Good Friday and Easter Monday - an increase of over 5% compared to the same period last year.
Recently confirmed by the Civil Aviation Authority as still one of the UK's fastest growing regional airports, the Easter weekend at JLA is set to continue this trend with passengers from the North West and beyond setting off to sunnier climes or taking in a spot of sightseeing over the holiday period.
Once again, popular destinations this Easter include the Mediterranean hotspots of Alicante, Malaga, Nice and Faro, City breaks to Rome, Granada, Seville, Madrid, Berlin, Krakow and Barcelona and closer to home the Irish destinations of Cork and Dublin. There are even some passengers catching the last of the skiing season on flights to Geneva.
Robin Tudor, General Manager - Corporate and Community Affairs at Liverpool John Lennon Airport commented:
“This year we have an even wider range of destinations available to suit a cross section of travelers. Already this week we have seen increased numbers of passengers using the Airport as passengers from throughout the North West take advantage of the low fares and great deals available with airlines flying from Liverpool.”
