Liverpool: General Airport News, Updates & Discussion

When did Liverpool gain it's version of the LBA bus shelter walkways airside to board aircraft? I'd noticed it on a YouTube video and thought it was LBA

To be fair that's not a great description. But I suspect it's the white plastic and glazed walkways you're referring to. If so, they've been there years

Yes been in use a long time. A new stand Will open near hangars, I think also with covered walkway.

Its what the LBA forumers have named them. They're not hugely popular at Leeds but you can't win, people complained when there was no shelter, now they complain about the shelter. Thankfully though, most stands don't require it anymore. Does Liverpool have any plans to replace it at some point with something more permanent?

As far as I am aware they are stopping . There will be a new stand in a different location to the others soon, and that will also have a covered walkway. The only alternative would be air bridges, these would be very expensive and none of Liverpool's airlines require them, so personally I would think better to spend money elsewhere, such as departure lounge expansion, which I can see being required in the not too distant future.

Personally I have no problem with the covered walkway they get you to where the aircrafts are parked, covered should the weather be inclement , and of course you board quicker with steps at front and back than an air bridge anyway.

Just noticed the loos by gate 2 have been refurbished and look much better.

I thought it was only in the Leeds forum where we did an airport "Loo review".
