Liverpool John Lennon Airport sits on the River Mersey, a gateway to the city and beyond. Originally known as Speke Airport, it served during World War II as RAF Speke. Today, the international airport provides a range of flights, connecting travellers to destinations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Its infrastructure includes a single passenger terminal and a runway of considerable length, alongside essential facilities for cargo and general aviation. The airport experienced significant growth in passenger numbers between the late 1990s and mid-2000s. It was given its current name in 2001, honouring the renowned musician John Lennon, who hailed from Liverpool.
