Alpha Taxiway is closed today for essential repairs . Aircraft have to back track on 27 while this is being carried out.

Ground power pick-ups is being installed this year at stands 1-3 and 51-53, 4- 7 will be completed next year. This will remove the need at these stands for the diesel units.

GPUs are incredibly noisy so another bonus.

With the announcement of a Jet2 base from March next year, are there any plans to extend the terminal or even refurbish any areas?
I haven't been to Liverpool airport for about 5 years, but last time when I used Ryanair there, we boarded the aircraft from a gate which looked like it was located in a giant portakabin?

When I've used Easyjet in the past, we have been "inside" the terminal building, so to speak.
It just feels it needs more room these days, especially if the immigration hall is still the same? More then 2/3 flights landing at the same time and your queuing outside!

The border force area is to get some work done to it this winter to increase space. As to other areas I don't know, but I'd imagine there would be plans. The check in , departure lounge and security check area are spacious, so hopefully they will be concentrating on the areas needed.

The arrivals area where border force is situated is due for an expansion of 25 % this winter.

Good news ref the immigration hall.
I wonder if the gates were Ryanair normally board from will be changed too? This is really dated now!
Liverpool airport isn't predominantly as low cost as it used to be and I imagine these gates are shared with other airlines too and will be with Jet2 from next year.

I hope so, they need some attention. I would expect anything to happen in the quieter winter months.

Looks like there is some changes / additions to check in desks, plus some auto-desks to accommodate Jet2

The airport has won its appeal against Halton BC, to construct a solar farm on land owned by the airport company. It will product 3 Mw of power and reduce emissions by 20 % . The target is carbon neutral by 2040. Quite my Halton BC should object to this in the first place is rather baffling, however the airport can now move forward and do something to reduce emissions they produce.

There are plans now to increase the apron on land east beyond the fire station. This will allow an extra 6 stands.

Some terminal development to happen, 6 new security scanning machines will be installed . 2 new gates to be created, plus the flows through the westerly gates are being altered so help with queues . Two new check-ins being added in addition to the Jet2 check-ins. Expanded border-force area, E-Gates will now be installed later in 2025, when new style E Gates come into effect, the border-force area will be expanded again by then.

Good to see Border Force area being expanded..It has been a let down for the airport for some time now. Very welcome.

Yes its not the best, so good to hear.

Stand space is fine at present for based aircraft, however with anticipated Jet2 expansion , land from the fire station east will be used. XLR is wanted to kept in the central area as much as possible, as this is good business for the airport.

hopefully should help anyone else who happens to start flights to Liverpool too. 4 new airlines in 2024, who says no to more?

Are there any plans to extend the terminal facilities or is the terminal already large enough to facilitate planned future growth?

I don't think at the moment, the capacity I believe it 7M , so its ok for now.

Good news ref the planned improvements.
Are there any plans for the baggage reclaim area to be extended?
