So what’s been happening in June? Where do I start? I have enjoyed lots of agent
days out and there are many more in the pipeline. Liz Kildare kicked off June with a Saga training day, which included an airside tour and an agent brainstorming session. There were some great ideas and we are looking at implementing some to make your job of supporting our airport easier! So thank you to all who took part. Hays Travel managers appreciation day was a blast.

lovely Russell at Disney to see how we can push more departures from Liverpool airport. We had some great ideas that I hope we can carry forward in the coming weeks.
