Liverpool airport has one runway (27/09) 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)]] as It's mainly used by the budget airlines. Aircraft such as the Airbus A319 and the Boeing 737 are in common use at Liverpool but occasionally, larger aircraft come in on freight operations at night. The airport is capable of handling very large cargo aircraft such as the Antonov-124 and the Boeing 747-200F.
