Statistical data drawn from:
1. CAA 2009 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 2011.
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 shows aircraft movements at Liverpool
year by year since 1988. Air transport movements
are shown in blue. It can be seen that over the decade 1995-2005 there was a rising trend but since then the numbers have fallen off year by year. Ten years ago in 1999 a third of flights were air transport movements - by 2009 this had risen to more than half (53%). |
| From Chart 3 it will be seen that among air
transport movements (atms) the number of scheduled flights (97%)
by far exceeded charter movements. Chart 4 shows that just over half (53.7%) the atms were
flown by UK carriers with most of the balance (46.1%) flown by other EU airlines. |

Chart 6

Chart 5 shows for each month of 2009 the number
of diverted flights and Chart 6 the airports to which they were
diverted. The number of diversions was very small - only 31 flights or 0.08%
of landings. Most of the diverted flights went
to East Midlands, Manchester and Birmingham with a few going to Bristol, Doncaster Sheffield and Leeds Bradford. |
During 2009 Liverpool handled 264 tonnes of freight
and no mail - 78% of the freight was carried on scheduled
flights.

(64%) travelled to or from the Airport by private car. About
a fifth (21%) used taxis and the remainder either public transport
(10%) or hire cars (5%). |
