O membro do Gabinete para Transporte na Autoridade Combinada da Região da Cidade de Liverpool, disse o conselheiro Liam Robinson, um grupo de centro da cidade nos membros de negócios que ele e o prefeito Steve Rotheram estão comprometidos com o sucesso do Aeroporto de Lenib. Cllr. Robinson disse que o setor de economia dos visitantes ainda era um enorme contribuinte para a economia da cidade-região-e que o aeroporto desempenharia um papel contínuo e vital na atração de visitantes internacionais. Ele também recebeu o último compromisso do novo PM Liz Truss de reintroduzir um link abrangente do Northern Power Rail, conforme proposto pelo transporte para o norte, e as oportunidades que o HS2 trará para o Liverpool. A indústria da aviação mais do que a maioria dos setores-e, apesar de recuar fortemente, o Liverpool JLA ainda tinha um caminho a percorrer antes de retornar aos números de passageiros pré-pandêmicos que estavam sendo apreciados. Com relatórios brilhantes no gerenciamento de passageiros e segurança durante o verão, o Aeroporto de Liverpool John Lennon se estabeleceu como um dos aeroportos mais rápidos e amigáveis a voar no Reino Unido.

Speaking at a breakfast event hosted by DIB at the Airport, Cllr. Robinson said that the visitor economy sector was still a huge contributor to the city-region economy – and that the airport would play a continuing and vital role in attracting international visitors.
The Transport chief also outlined ambitions for greener public transport, including hydrogen buses, a London-style smart card system, and improved connectivity across the city-region. He also welcomed the latest commitment from new PM Liz Truss to re-introduce a comprehensive Northern Power Rail link, as proposed by Transport for the North, and the opportunities that HS2 will bring to Liverpool.
Joining Liam for a discussion with DIB Group chairman and chief executive Frank McKenna was the chief executive of the airport John Irving.
Mr Irving explained that the pandemic had battered the aviation industry more than most sectors – and despite bouncing back strongly, Liverpool JLA still had a way to go before returning to the pre-pandemic passenger numbers that were being enjoyed.
Nonetheless, the introduction of the Lufthansa brand to the range of airlines flying from Liverpool had contributed significantly to a positive improvement in performance during the past year. With glowing reports in its managing of passengers and security throughout the Summer, Liverpool John Lennon Airport has established itself as one of the fastest, friendliest airports to fly from in the UK.
