Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) is expecting the first Bank Holiday weekend of the year to be particularly busy with passenger numbers set to be around 10% higher than last year.
Easter this year coincides with the start of the summer schedules for many airlines, with new routes and increased frequencies and around 70,000 passengers are forecast to pass through the LJLA between Good Friday and Easter Monday.
Over 6,000 more passengers are expected compared to last year, with many taking advantage of a range of new services and additional flights to popular destinations.
The airport says the top five most popular sunshine routes this Easter are likely to be Barcelona, Malaga, Alicante, Faro and Palma.
