Liverpool Airport was officially opened back in 1933 and was in the shadows of Manchester Airport for many years. Liverpool Airport has gathered pace and since 1988 has become one of fast expanding airports in the whole of Europe thanks to many budget airlines transporting people safely throughout Europe and beyond.

Speke Airport as it was then known was situated 1 mile up the road and the new airport was built on the old T.S Conway sea cadet corps. Originally it began with a weekly service flight to croydon and a complimentary flight to Ireland.

Peel holdings invested a substantial amount of money totalling £42.5 million pounds back in the eighties.A special band that took over the music industry called the Beatles involved a special musician from Liverpool called John Lennon and after tragically being shot dead some years ago. Liverpool airport changed its name in honour of him and it is now known as Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

Liverpool Airport today is a sign of modern times and the coming together of some fine management over the years to produce a fantastic safe gateway into one of the finest cities in the world. Liverpool.

If you want to meet some real scouse characters, you only have to jump into the Hackney taxi`s situated on the rank outside. Most of the cabbie`s are witty and humorous and can make even the most difficult people laugh.There is nothing they don`t know about Liverpool and a Taxi ride in a liverpool hackney is well recommended.

They are honest and trustworthy hard working drivers with the public's best interest at heart.The cab itself can take 5 passengers and some can even take 6 and the prices are clearly displayed on the meter.The rates are cheap compared to most big cities and each taxi is wheelchair assessable.

The local bus service is outside the terminal and Liverpool has a major train station in the city centre.Liverpool Airport ihas its very own yellow submarine outside the terminal by the Taxi rank and combined with the excellent service from the staff, it starts a journey of excitement into a city filled with many many attractions.
