Disabled Passengers & PRMs

Liverpool John Lennon Airport welcomes passengers with special needs. We endeavour to ensure our facilities maximise use and access of the premises. In designing the terminal buildings and facilities we have attempted to apply standards and good practices in order to provide an inclusive environment.

You must ensure that you pre-notify and specify your needs with the airline when you book your flight; we can not guarantee all of the assistance services for non pre-noted passengers.

Airline safety rules state that anyone unable to fasten their seatbelt, leave their seat and reach an emergency exit unaided should be accompanied. This also applies to passengers who need help with breathing, feeding, using the toilet, or taking medication.

Car Parking

The accessible parking bays, for blue-badge holders, are located close to the terminal, in:

• Long Stay 1 Car Park
• Short Stay (Multi-Storey)
• The drop-off area adjacent to the multi-storey car park.
• The Premium Car Parking Area.

Please note:

1. There are no accessible bays in the Pricebuster / Long Stay 2 Car Park which is approx. 10 minutes walk from the terminal building. Passengers requiring assistance are advised to use one of the other Car Parks indicated above. 
2. There is no designated pick-up area, drivers are advised to use the Short Stay car park when meeting arriving flights.

Blue Badge Replacement Scheme

The airport operates a Blue-Badge replacement voucher scheme, which will allow passengers to retain their Blue-Badge for use abroad. Vouchers are available from the car park kiosk located in the Multi-Storey car park and from the "Welcome Desk" opposite Check-In Desks. This service is provided free of charge.

The airport has appointed a contractor to provide special assistance services to support disabled passengers and persons with reduced mobility (PRMs). The services that can be accessed:
