The Airport has been given a festive feel as a result of a project carried out at nearby St Christophers Catholic primary school in Speke. All the children at the school made their very own snowflake to go on display at the airport, meaning there are now over 300 displayed in the terminal building. The lucky pupils who came up with the two best designs will be rewarded with a V.I.P behind the scenes tour of the airport base with their parents and teacher. Liverpool John Lennon airport will be welcoming other local schools and community groups over the weeks leading up to Christmas to sing carols and create a festive atmosphere for travellers to enjoy. The customer services coordinator at the hub, Christina Smith said, The airport already works closely with schools hosting many education based visits, but staff were really keen to work with local schools to see if the pupils wanted to help welcome passengers with a festive scene before they set off on their journeys. The work that has gone into the display is just amazing and each child has taken a lot of time to make this a great way to celebrate the Christmas period.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport
Airline bosses have reacted angrily to the pre-Budget statement which was delivered by Chancellor Alistair Darling . With Air Passenger Duty (APD) set to rise, there are fears that some airlines may have to cut down on the number of flights operating out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport. With the nation’s economy struggling, the spotlight was on the Chancellor as he announced a series of measures which he hopes will kick-start the economy. While the headlines were made by the VAT rate cut, Michael Cawley, the Chief Operating Officer of budget airline Ryanair has tried to draw attention to the rising taxes which are to be imposed on air passengers. APD is set to rise by 10% in 2009 from £10 to £11 for short-haul flights with a further increase to £12 expected in 2010. In a statement released in the aftermath of the pre-Budget statement, Cawley said that he expected this rate to affect regional airports such as Liverpool to a greater extent than the country’s larger airports. Cawley went on to argue that “passenger traffic has fallen since this tax was introduced and this increase will have a further damaging effect on passengers.” Airlines fear that rising prices will reduce consumer demand for flights which may in turn force a reduction in the number of flights provided from some airports. With air travel often cited as a significant contributor to the production of carbon emissions, taxes such as APD are applauded by environmental organisations. In their statement, however, Ryanair slam the so called ‘environmental tax’, arguing that the revenue which is generated is not being used to address environmental issues. In this time of economic hardship, Liverpool John Lennon Airport passengers may be one group which finds themselves disappointed by the UK Government’s new taxing plans.
