About

Welcome to Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA), which is just an hour and a half away from Cumbria and has flights to over 70 destinations in the UK and across Europe, plus onward worldwide connections to the US via Dublin and Reykjavik.

It is the award winning Faster, Easier, Friendlier Airport of choice for passengers from across the North West and is recognised for its relaxed, hassle free environment and best in class operational performance and is one of the UK’s best performing airports when it comes to flight punctuality. This is complimented by recent investments to improve passenger facilities and deliver an enhanced customer experience, with positive passenger feedback at an all time high and voted the Best UK Airport in the Which? 2023 UK Airport Survey and is a Which? Recommended Provider.

Renowned for being the first airport in the UK to be named after an individual, LJLA pays homage to the legendary Liverpool-born musician, John Lennon. This unique tribute was unveiled in 2001 and the new terminal was inaugurated by Queen Elizabeth II in 2002, solidifying its place in aviation history.

The airport is continually enhancing its connectivity, welcoming new airlines and reaching new destinations, paving the way for improved access to diverse passenger markets and is a key international gateway for the North West.

LJLA is also proud of the way it focuses on the needs of those passengers often deterred from travelling by air due to a range of physical and hidden disabilities, to make air travel for all passengers as relaxed and pleasant as possible.

Experience the seamless journey and vibrant possibilities that Liverpool John Lennon Airport offers as you embark on your next adventure.
