Liverpool is one of the UK's oldest operational Airport's, first thought of as an idea in 1928 with first scheduled flights commencing in 1930. The first major construction on site took place in the late 1930's following the growth in passenger traffic through Liverpool.

The Airport played a significant role in the war effort; however it wasn't until 1961 that the local authority regained control. The following years saw the decision to construct the current longer runway on the land adjacent to the original Airport, referred to as the Southern Airfield, which was opened in 1966 and enabled Liverpool to become a 24 hour airport - a situation which has continued to the present day.

Control of the airport transferred to Merseyside County Council from The Liverpool Corporation in the mid 1970's. 10 years later control was passed to the five Merseyside councils following the abolition of Merseyside County Council. A new modern passenger terminal, adjacent to the runway on the Southern Airfield site, had previously opened in 1986, following the closure of the 1930's building. This old terminal has recently been renovated and expanded to become the high quality Marriott Liverpool South Hotel, whilst the original hangars have been converted into a David Lloyd Tennis and Leisure centre.

Following the 1986 Airports Act, ownership of the Airport changed again in 1990 as Liverpool became the UK's first local authority owned Airport to move from public sector control to the private sector with British Aerospace acquiring a 76% majority shareholding. In 1997 this share was acquired by Peel Holdings Plc, the North West based property company, together with the remaining shares held by the five Merseyside Local Authorities. Peel Airports (Liverpool) Limited remain the present owners.

During the mid 1990's some £4 million was subsequently invested in improving and expanding the terminal with new and larger landside and airside passenger lounges and an expanded arrivals hall to cater for growth in passenger throughput.

In 2001 Yoko Ono visited the airport to unveil the renaming and re-branding to Liverpool John Lennon Airport, which coincided with the start of construction on a new look airport. The airport became the first in the UK to be named after an individual.

A new Terminal Building, Control Tower and other ancillary projects where completed in 2002 as part of a commitment by Peel Holdings. The new terminal is capable of handling up to 3 million annual passengers in a modern spacious environment and is a significant development in the Airport's history as well as the industry.

In 2002 Liverpool John Lennon Airport saw 2.8 million passengers pass through, which is expected to rise to 3.2 million in 2003. This includes 13 domestic and European regular daily scheduled service destinations and 21 summer holiday charter flights serving Mediterranean resorts. The airport also saw over 30,000 tonnes of freight in 2002, which was primarily due to the Royal Mails night hub operations which have been at Liverpool John Lennon Airport since 1979, with a sorting office on site.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport won the prestigious Fred Camenisch Award for its outstanding contribution towards tourism on Merseyside at the 2002 Mersey Tourism Award. The award was presented in recognition of the role that the Airport has played in bringing a growing number of visitors, particularly from Europe to the region.

The ongoing investment in airport facilities to provide further customer capacity will continue to see business at Liverpool grow; firmly establishing the Airport not only as a gateway to the North West but also as one of the primary airports of the United Kingdom.
