Liverpool John Lennon Airport is an international airport serving North
West England. On the outbreak of world war two the airport was operated by the RAF and known as RAF Speke.
The airport is within the City of Liverpool on the banks of the estuary of the River Mersey some 6.5 nautical
miles (12.0 km; 7.5 mi)[1] south east of the city centre. The airport is named after Liverpudlian musician John
Lennon of The Beatles. Scheduled domestic and European services are operated from the airport.

1997 to 5.47 million in 2007. Passenger numbers have since fallen with around 4 million passengers passing through the airport in 2014,
making it the 13th busiest airport in the United Kingdom. The CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence Number is P735, that allows flights for the
