Liverpool John Lennon Airport is an international airport serving northwest England, particularly the city of Liverpool. It is owned by Peel Airports, and is operated by the Liverpool Airport PLC. The airport is located within the city of Liverpool, on the banks of the estuary of the River Mersey some 6.5 nautical miles southeast of the city centre. The facility is named from iconic musician and Liverpudlian John Lennon from the Beatles.

Between 1997 and 2007, Liverpool John Lennon Airport was one of Europe's fastest growing airports, increasing annual passenger numbers from 689,000 to some 5.47 million in 10 years. Passenger numbers have since fallen to the four million mark in 2014, making it the 13th busiest airport in the United Kingdom. Although not used as a hub nor noted as a focus city for major airlines, it is one of the choice airports in the area for domestic and regional services.
