easyJet criticises Liverpool Airport security

Low-cost airline easyJet has criticised the security measures in place at Liverpool Airport, saying that it is causing severe delays.

Liverpool Airport released a statement in the Daily Post last week asking passengers to arrive at least two hours before their flight to allow enough time to pass through security.

easyJet spokesman Andrew McConnell said that the carrier wants the airport to take on more security personnel to improve the situation.

"Telling people to arrive earlier is not good enough. It is time the airport put its hand in its pocket and employed more security staff," he commented.

Mr McConnell claimed that "dozens" of people each day were missing their flights because of the current situation.

In contrast, Manchester Airport was praised for its customer service in the area.

Another UK facility, Newcastle Airport, took steps to reduce the time it takes through the facility with the creation of a new fast-track pass.

Once checked in, passengers can purchase the passes for £3 and join a separate queue at the security area.
