Totally happy that this post in the right place.
Pleased to see this. While 'Ametyst' is highlighting daily the current dire slump in passenger flights and demand while the Omicron Covid wave sweeps through Europe, those who follow routes and airline plans to re-introduce services know that a great number of routes are currently slated to re-commence in early March. Airport, handling agents, security, concessions, airlines and others will all have to ensure that trained staff are ready in advance of a travel boom that is cautiously being predicted by some for next summer. Cancellations and delays caused by staff shortages will reflect very badly, so it good news that there is forward planning in place.

Richard Kemp has always been against the airport even existing. He was at the forefront of trying to get it closed in the 70's and 80's.
The man talks utter rubbish and needs to get his facts straight.

Very true about the blood pressure tablets. I think what the city needs more urgently than an extended runway is fair, balanced and factually accurate journalism. What's more alarming is the comments on this article (assuming they're posted from locals to the liverpool area) is the lack of ambition to improve our city, environment and quality of life. They appear all too happy to let investment go to other areas of the country.

What gets me is the lack of challenge around the patently false narrative from the likes of Save Oglet Shore. Nothing in the plans limits access or sees development anywhere near Oglet shore, and the idea it’s some rural idyll is laughable.
I suspect many people commenting in the article haven’t been to Oglet in years.

I wouldn’t like the runway to be extended, I would like to see an increase in traffic first, Would love to see if the airport management could attract Ryanair or Easyjet to add an extra based aircraft each (we have been told at our station it’s 6 based aircraft till the end of May then it is 7 from June to September subject to change) i would love the airport to spend millions (which they don’t have) on demolishing the easyjet end of the airport first and building proper boarding gates, they are in a dire state, Gate 10 keeps leaking when it rains and there are buckets all over the gate, you should see the passengers reaction when they are arriving at the gate, it is quite embarrassing as a fellow airport worker, Gate 11 had to be closed a while back cause the roof had started to fall in on itself. would also like to see the same done to the main apron gates. The arrivals area ALWAYS bottle necks when 2 or 3 planes come down at once, and they are all congregating by the taxi rank.
What the airports needs right now is to start bouncing back up to 5.0m a year but who knows when that will be. hopefully the new Lufthansa route does well, but we are still not out of the pandemic and who knows how many will actually use this new route. we will on here hope it does well and is here to stay.

Reported on another site is that the service was going to manchester as an increase in its service from there but Lufthansa and Manchester fell out overlanding fees.
If that is right then they (Lufthansa) obviously see that a demand is there.

In departures now. Subway closed. Airport lounge closed earlier at 11am. Frankie and Benny's still closed. Estuary kitchen place still closed.
The good thing is that although there were only 2 security lanes open, it was no more than 5 minutes to get through
