Sadly I've got two flights where the times just work better out of MAN than LPL but normally LPL is my preference

I mean, the tweets by Liverpool are very clever to capitalise on a crisis, but then you have to ask, with Ryanair and Easyjet removing aircraft/routes from Liverpool but adding at Manchester, what does it say about Liverpool, when Manchester can be the absolutely diabolical mess it is, but the airlines would -still- rather expand at Manchester than Liverpool? Let’s face it, banter can go both ways and shots can very easily be fired back.
And as for the tweet above too. The period 1pm-close saw Liverpool have 13 departures, where the largest aircraft was an A321. Manchester in the same period saw 59 departures, with the largest aircraft being an A380. So hardly comparing apples to apples is it? it would have been embarrassing for Liverpool if it did take longer. And that looked a mighty empty airport, really wasn’t a lot of passengers around to say there were flights that should have been checking in…
so sorry to ruin your fun and all, but I suppose someone has to be the forum pain in the preverbial, and given everyone seems to be revelling in the bad news lately, I’m not even bothered about claiming that title.

Your post highlights the complete nonsense of the excuses coming out of Manchester that they had more passengers than expected. If you can count to 59 and read the types why can't they? Obviously they can and therefore a very quick calculation or speaking to airlines tell them how many people will be passing through. It's simply poor management. Something they cannot publicly acknowledge
I just booked a flight from MAN, but I've now cancelled it a rebooked from here, I'm not prepared to take the risk that things will be any better by the time I go. As I'm going for a birthday celebration, I need to get there.

With school holidays set to start this weekend Liverpool John Lennon Airport is expecting to handle 170,000 passengers in the next two weeks in the run up to Easter. Tony McDonough reports
Departure gate at Liverpool John Lennon Airport
Liverpool John Lennon Airport is gearing up for what it expects to be one of its busiest periods since before the pandemic – handling an expected 170,000 passengers in two weeks.
Many schools will break up this weekend and, with Easter weekend just two weeks away (Good Friday is on April 15) many families have booked to jet away for a spring break as airlines such as easyJet, Ryanair and Wizz Air launch their summer schedules.
Since the start of the pandemic in March 2020 the airport has seen passenger numbers plummet. During the first lockdown international travel all but ground to a halt and subsequent lockdowns and travel restrictions kept passenger numbers lower than normal.

Now the airport is about to enter the first school holiday period since the lifting of the last of the Government’s covid related international travel restrictions, with around 170,000 passengers from across the North West and North Wales expected to come through the airport.
Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air have all added new routes from Liverpool over the past few months. Irish carrier Ryanair now flies to more than 30 destinations, easyJet to 25 and Wizz Air to 14 locations in Europe.
In May, the second-biggest airline in Europe by passenger numbers, Lufthansa, will begin flights from Liverpool to Frankfurt. It will offer onward routes to 150 global destinations via its German hub.
Most popular sunshine routes this Easter are likely to be Malaga, Alicante, Faro and Palma, as well as routes to the Turkish resorts of Dalaman, Bodrum and Antalya which have recently restarted.
City breaks to destinations closer to home such as Dublin and Belfast are also expected to be popular as usual, along with destinations including Vienna, Stockholm, Paris, Budapest and Porto.
The airport is continuing its recovery from the pandemic and expects to be significantly busier than just a few months ago, as passengers from across the region begin to travel overseas once again.
However passengers are reminded that security restrictions relating to items in hand luggage, that most travellers were familiar with pre-COVID, remain in place. Passengers are asked to allow plenty of time to pass through the airport.
People are also asked to ensure that they check what restrictions are in place for the destination they are travelling to, with some countries continuing to have COVID-related restrictions for arriving passengers.
Robin Tudor, head of PR for Liverpool Airport, said: “We are looking forward to the return of the Easter getaway once again bringing the busiest holiday period of the year so far for the airport.
“Our post-pandemic recovery continues and whilst we still have some way to go in terms of
reaching pre-pandemic passenger numbers, it is great to be welcoming back lots more passengers to the airport once again.
“We don’t expect lengthy queues for our passengers, however travellers should remember that security restrictions regarding items in hand luggage prior to the pandemic remain in place and because the airport will be busier than usual, they should allow plenty of time to pass through the terminal.”

Liverpool Airport signs new air traffic control deal
By Ybnews on 26th April 2022A new system for managing aircraft around Liverpool Airport will create greater flexibility for air traffic controllers. Tony McDonough reports
Air traffic controllers at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) will be trained on a new system that will reduce the need for multiple controllers at times of low demand.
According to the Civil Aviation Authority, when a plane comes into land at an airport the pilots will be in contact with a controller in the control tower. They will look after the aircraft while it is taxiing and on the ground.
Other planes may be taking off or in the air flying over the airport in a similar timeframe. The former is known as ‘approach’ and the latter as ‘tower’. Now, in an agreement with Air Navigation Solutions (ANSL), LJLA controllers will see the implementation of a system called Radar in The Tower (RiTT).
RiTT allows approach and tower services to be combined from a single controller working position at times of low demand or in low complexity traffic scenarios. This reduces the need for additional air traffic control officers during these periods, enabling support of other critical activities in the air traffic control unit.

ANSL will work with the airport’s in-house air navigation services provider, Air Traffic Control Services Limited (ATCSL), in a project that will see a technical assessment of the existing air traffic management equipment, development of operational procedures, and creation of a training plan and materials.
ANSL will also support the engagement with the Civil Aviation Authority on behalf of ATCSL and LJLA. These services will be complemented by a human factors review carried out by ANSL’s human factors specialist, Lucy Kirkland.
ANSL says the combined service delivery also provides air traffic controllers with more optimal levels of air traffic handling during periods of low demand, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Its has operated RiTT at Edinburgh Airport for several years.
Matt Jackson, air traffic services manager at LJLA, said: “The implementation of RiTT at our airport adds flexibility to our air traffic control function which is critical, today more than ever.
“In the longer term, RiTT will allow us to release staff for important projects. ANSL presented a compelling and well thought through solution, and their experience and expertise is exactly what we need to complement our own teams and ensure a swift and efficient implementation.”
The programme is expected to take approximately four months and initially culminate in an operational trial of RiTT operations at Liverpool Airport. Following a successful trial, this concept will be available for implementation for use on a longer-term basis.
Sandy Legget, general manager Air Traffic Services at Edinburgh Airport for ANSL, added: “We quickly adapted our RiTT operation at Edinburgh when traffic levels were seriously impacted by the pandemic.We were able to limit the risk of cross-contamination substantially by reducing the number of staff required in the operations room at any one time.”

The charity will host a pop-up stand in the airport’s departure lounge for three consecutive Fridays from June 17 to urge young travellers to be mindful of the risks that can present themselves while abroad.
Jack The Lad was set up in 2019 after 19-year-old Jack Howe died while quad biking in Zante on his first holiday with friends.
The charity was recently invited to be part of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office’s Travel Aware partnership, where the travel industry collaborates with the government to make British travellers aware of issues and risks while abroad.
Tom Muirhead, Jack The Lad trustee and spokesperson, said: “Being part of Travel Aware is so important to us and we completely share their aims in reducing risk and helping to prevent accidents.
“Our aim is to work alongside Travel Aware with airports and airlines and have Jack the Lad and our stay safe on holiday message at the heart of the travel mindset of every young British traveller.
“We’re incredibly grateful to Liverpool John Lennon Airport for being our very first commercial travel industry supporter and we know that, as summer holidays take off in 2022, our presence at the airport will make thousands of young Brits aware of us and, we hope, make them think a bit more about staying safe than they otherwise would have done.”
He added: “We’re hugely pro-fun as a charity – we just want everyone to take care of themselves and their mates and be more aware of the risks they can encounter while they’re away.”

Cheshire oil refinery, Essar Oil (UK) Limited, has struck a deal with Liverpool John Lennon Airport for the direct supply of aviation fuel to commercial airlines using the riverside airport.
Essar owns and operates the Stanlow oil refinery, near Ellesmere Port. It currently has direct supply agreements with carriers at five major airports across the UK – Manchester, Birmingham, London Stansted, Leeds-Bradford and Cardiff.
Its latest access agreement, effective from July 1, 2022, will allow Essar to supply fuel directly to airlines at the wingtip and marks another step in Essar’s growing aviation fuels business, as air travel continues to recover from the effects of the pandemic.
Discussions with other potential partners are already under way as part of Essar’s ambition for further growth in the direct supply sector.
Essar, which supplies 16% of the UK’s road transport fuels, is one of the largest producers of jet fuel in the UK and plays a vital role in the North West’s aviation industry, while Liverpool John Lennon Airport is one of the longest established operational airports in the UK, transporting more than five million passengers each year.
The agreement will shore up the airport’s domestic fuel supply, reducing reliance on global supply chains and imports, benefitting from Essar’s continued strategy to bolster energy security in the UK.

Liverpool Airport adds their condolences and remembers the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and our thoughts are with the Royal Family. We have many fond memories of the Queen travelling through the airport - the highlight being when she opened our new terminal building in 2002.

Over the next two nights, there will be essential runway safety works taking place to remove excess rubber, maintaining friction levels of the runway surface and aiding drainage. This will take place on: • Wed 14 September (01:20-06:00) • Thur 15 September (01:20-06:00)
