BA in talks over Liverpool Airport - Heathrow link
14.08.07
British Airways and Liverpool Airport managers have met in recent weeks to discuss the possibility of opening a route between Merseyside and Heathrow, a spokesman for the airport has confirmed. The news comes after it was reported earlier this month that a link to Heathrow was top of Liverpool Airport's route wish list.
The Mersey Partnership (TMP), which is keen to establish a link between Liverpool and a major passenger hub, were also involved in the meetings. An airport spokesman added that they are also talking to existing and new airlines about new services to Liverpool, while the TMP is in discussions with other major airlines.
Mark Basnett, director of operations at TMP, told the Evening Post newspaper: 'We have an active dialogue with BA. They keep a watching brief on all major locations. They have a big presence at Heathrow, so it's only natural that we would be talking to them. They are the obvious choice.'
Liverpool is looking for a regular service to a hub airport, that will not only expand the number of destinations, but also mean that people can check-in once and fly from Liverpool to anywhere in the world.
