Dozens of ECHO readers have contacted us about a large military-style plane seen circling over Liverpool.
One expert witness claimed the plane looks a Boeing C-17 Globemaster which were used to ferry American troops in the 1980s.

It was seen flying over the city this afternoon.
A member of the public, who asked not be named, sent a photograph of the plane into the ECHO.

Article regards to Easter Passengers using LPL from Liverpool Business News

Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) is expecting 65,000 passengers to pass through over the Easter weekend.

This is around 7% below last year’s figure of 70,000 but higher than the 63,000 passengers passing through in 2017 with a mix of destinations including Mediterranean resort or city breaks.

LJLA says the most popular sunshine routes this Easter will be be Barcelona, Malaga, Alicante, Faro and Palma, with city breaks to destinations such as Amsterdam, Krakow, Dublin and Belfast also expected to be popular, along with Copenhagen, the airport’s newest destination.

Robin Tudor, head of PR for LJLA, said: “We expect the Easter getaway once again to bring the busiest weekend of the year so far for the airport.

“It’s no surprise to see a number of Mediterranean destinations proving popular once again as travellers from across the region head off in search of some spring sunshine, taking advantage of the convenience and great range of destinations available direct from Liverpool.”

I've read elsewhere that their is a rumour that Peel Holdings are putting LPL and DSA up for sale, I don't know if there is any truth in this.......wait and see.

Yep seen that one. It'll be interesting to see if they would be sold together or separately.

They are showing indirect options , which must be useful if you can't get a seat on one of the direct flights.

50 minutes connection, non protected tickets would be too risky in my opinion even in AMS

 

[Aviador]

No hold luggage required, just a short dash with your cabin allowance and 50 minutes should do the trick?

I read stories when fans were trying to get to Kiev with no direct flight tickets getting planes to another country then trains and buses..

 

[Silvercity]

Hopefully most with have a seat on one one of the direct services , however I think it was very good that airport displayed indirect options to help fans.
