Statistical data drawn from:
1. CAA 2007 Airports Statistics These can be accessed
at their website
The Annual statistics are usually issued in the April or May following the end
of the calendar year in question. These figures will, therefore,
be updated again in April or May 2009.
2. CAA Passenger Survey - for details visit the
CAA's website
Notes
1. "Air transport movements" are landings
or take-offs of aircraft engaged on the transport of passengers, cargo
or mail on commercial terms.
3 . A "terminal passenger"
is a passenger joining or leaving an aircraft at the airport. A passenger
who changes from one aircraft to another, carrying the same flight number
(change of gauge) is treated as a terminal passenger, as is an interlining
passenger.
4 . A "transit passenger"
is a passenger who arrives at and departs from the airport on the same
aircraft which is transiting the airport. Each transit passenger is counted
once only and not both on arrival and on departure.

Chart 2 |
Chart 2 shows aircraft movements at Liverpool
year by year since 1987. Air transport movements
are shown in blue. It can be seen that in recent years the
proportion of these has been rising although in 2007 there was a small 3.3% reduction over the previous year . Ten years ago in 1997 30% of flights
were air transport movements - by 2007 this had risen to 53%. |
From Chart 3 it will be seen that among air
transport movements (atms) the number of scheduled flights (94%)
by far exceeded charter movements. Chart 4 shows that a little under half (47%) the atms were
flown by UK carriers with most of the balance (52%) flown by other EU airlines. |

of diverted flights and Chart 6 the airports to which they were
diverted. The number of diversions was very small - only 56 flights or 0.13%
of landings. The diverted flights went
to Manchester, East Midlands and Stansted. |
During 2007 Liverpool handled 3709 tonnes of freight
and no mail - 96% of the freight was carried on charter
