Liverpool Airport Parking

Liverpool John Lennon Airport information

Liverpool Airport, surprisingly one the UK's oldest operation airports officially opened in 1933, known as Liverpool (Speke) Airport. It is the first UK airport to be named after an individual, when in 2001 it became John Lennon Liverpool Airport as a lasting tribute to one of Liverpool's most famous sons.

Situated approx. 7 miles from the city, you'll find it next to the River Mersey. Currently the 12^th busiest UK airport with around 4.8 million passengers per year, the numbers have vastly improved since the mid-nineties when it was way down the list in 20^th place. Catering primarily for the low-cost operators with over 60 destinations throughout Europe, the airports layout means that passengers need to walk without cover between terminal and aircraft.

The original terminal building is a grade 2 listed Art Deco Style building dating from the late 1930s and can famously seen on early television footage showing packed terraces full of Beatles fans. Left derelict when the new terminal opened in 1986, it was converted into a hotel in 2001.
