Liverpool: Route Development & Rumours

[Silvercity]

With the news that 6 new stands are to be created for Liverpool Airport, this would suggest some route expansion.

Just recently been reading an issue of 0927 by FOLA . Interesting reading of the most popular routes in 2025. Whilst 2025 was an excellent year for Liverpool Airport with many passenger records broken on the 20 most popular routes in the comparisons which have been compiled, I've noticed two exceptions, those being Amsterdam and Paris. These routes carried 126,393 and 76,196 respectively in 2025. However these figures illustrate how under-served both routes are these days.

The highest year for Amsterdam was 2010, when 346K were carried and 2007 for Paris when 180K were carried, which shows the demand from/to Liverpool to both those cities is not being met. Easyjet now seem to be using their aircraft on longer routes to places like Egypt for example, however its clear there is lost business here on Amsterdam and Paris which could bolster passenger figures even more had flight frequency been maintained . I am sure the route development team are in touch with KLM to reinstate their Amsterdam link, which would help with capacity limitations.

Unfortunately I feel this is more about Heathrow getting what they want runway wise than connectivity to UK regions.

Heathrow expansion could open the door to five additional UK routes, according to new research
