Liverpool 'John Lennon' Airport is situated on the edge of the River Mersey. It serves the 2008 European Capital of Culture city Liverpool, but the airport itself is sited in Speke. Liverpool John Lennon Airport holds a lot of history dating back to the 1930s.
Liverpool airport has one runway (09/27) going from East to West. Aircraft usually land
into the prevailing Westerly wind on runway 27 after lining up with the Runcorn-Widnes bridge. Departures usually take the same direction, Westerly towards the Irish Sea and over the Wirral peninsular. This flow changes when there is a strong Easterly wind and runway 9 is used. Liverpool Airport is not as busy as [[Manchester Airport (MAN/EGCC)]]. It's mainly used by the budget airlines and aircraft such as the Airbus A319 and the Boeing 737 are in common use at Liverpool.
