Agents show support for Liverpool John Lennon
Liverpool John Lennon Airport has launched a campaign for local travel agents to promote departures from the city.
A number of local travel agents including Hays, Tui, Myriad Travel, Crowne Travel and Pearl King Travel (pictured) have already signed up to the We sell Liverpool Airport 1st campaign, committing to promote departures from Liverpool to their customers ahead of flights from alternative airports.
The airport’s campaign is aimed at highlighting the convenience of flying from Liverpool, particularly for local holidaymakers.
Other benefits include on-site car parking close to the terminal, average security queue times of five minutes, one of the UK’s best records for on time departures, fast baggage collection times when returning home and having recently been voted the UK’s friendliest airport.
Over £5 million of passenger facility improvements have also helped to enhance the airport customer experience with surveys showing that positive passenger feedback is now at an all-time high.
Last month Liverpool John Lennon Airport received a good rating by the Civil Aviation Authority for the quality of assistance they provide to passengers with a disability, helping to encourage more people with a disability to fly.
The airport’s account manager Ashley Morgan said: "We firmly believe that by demonstrating this loyalty and supporting their local airport, more airlines and tour operators will choose to increase the number of departures from Liverpool in the months and years ahead."
