## Description

Ryanair runs one of its major bases at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (IATA: LPL, ICAO: EGGP), joined by easyJet and Wizz Air at the Speke site in Merseyside named after the Beatle. The airport handled around 5.1 million passengers in 2024, up 21 percent and its busiest year since 2011, against a terminal capacity of about 7 million. Air cargo is a secondary activity: it moves mainly as belly load on passenger flights and via Royal Mail night-mail services, with roughly 2,400 tonnes a year passing through Swissport's cargo warehouse. For dedicated freighter capacity, forwarders turn to East Midlands (EMA), the UK's largest pure-cargo airport, and Manchester (MAN, about 50 km). The M57/M62 corridor links LPL to the motorway network and the Port of Liverpool.
