Liverpool John Lennon Airport

This airport features in one of pop history’s more iconic moments – its original 1930s terminal building was famously seen on television crammed with excited Beatles fans. The building was replaced in 1986 and went derelict, but has since been turned into a hotel, restored to Grade II Listed Art Deco glory. Next to the estuary of the River Mersey, Liverpool John Lennon has been one of Europe’s fastest growing airports, increasing annual footfall from 875,000 in 1998 to over 5m in 2007.

Manchester Airport

As well as being a major Northern airport with a huge offering of international flights for world travellers, Manchester Airport itself is a top tourist destination. That’s if you’re a certain kind of tourist – 250,000 plane lovers a year are drawn to the Aviation Viewing Park, where you can see aircraft taking off and landing on both runways. Outside of London, Manchester handles the largest number of passengers of any airport in the UK. Its second runway opened in 2001 – the first full-length commercial runway to open in Britain for over 20 years.
