The home of Glasgow Accountants
Opened in the 1930s, Liverpool Airport, is situated Glasgow Accountants near Speke in the south of the city. It was renamed
Liverpool John Lennon Airport in 2001, in honour of the late
Beatle John Lennon. The airport's logo consists of a sketch
that John Lennon had drawn of himself, and the words "Above
us only sky", lyrics from his song Imagine.
The sensitivity surrounding the airport's Glasgow Accountants
name change meant that the logo had to be designed in secret
before it could be unveiled by John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono.
The airport was the starting point for Beatles tours in the
sixties, and images of the band boarding planes there were
seen throughout the world. In 2006 the airport handled nearly
5 million passengers and now serves 64 destinations, including
many key European cities. New Glasgow Accountants routes to
New York and Toronto in summer 2007 were withdrawn towards
the end of the year, as was the route to London City Airport,
due to low passenger numbers.
