Did You Know?

• Famous Namesake: In 2001, it became the first airport in the UK to be named after an individual — the legendary Beatle, John Lennon. You’ll find a 7ft bronze statue of him in the departures hall.
• Iconic Motto: The airport’s official motto, “Above us only sky,” is a world-famous line taken from Lennon’s hit song, “Imagine.”
• Historic Architecture: The beautiful art-deco building that now serves as a hotel (Crowne Plaza) was the airport’s original terminal. It was the site of “Beatlemania” in the 60s when the band returned from their world tours.
• Award-Winning Speed: LPL is consistently voted one of the UK’s best airports for customer service and queue management. It’s often possible to go from the car park to the gate in under 15-20 minutes.
