Liverpool John Lennon Airport is an international airport serving the city of Liverpool and the North West of England. Formerly known as Speke Airport, RAF Speke, and Liverpool Airport the airport is located within the City of Liverpool adjacent to the estuary of the River Mersey some 6.5 NM southeast of the centre of Liverpool, the airport is named after assassinated Liverpudlian musician and peace activist John Lennon. Alongside domestic services, there are also regular scheduled flights to dozens of locations across Europe, the Near East and North Africa as well as formerly North America.

Until 2007 it was one of Europe's fastest growing airports, having increased its annual passenger numbers from 875,000 in 1998 to 5.47 million. CAA UK airport statistics show that the number of passengers during 2009 reduced by 8.4% compared with 2008, to 4.9 million, making Liverpool the tenth busiest airport in the United Kingdom. However, CAA stats released 23 July 2010 for the 1st half of 2010 show a 5.45% increase over the 1st half of 2009.

Liverpool Airport has a CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence (Number P735) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers and for flying instruction.
