CAN Liverpool John Lennon Airport really cope with European Capital of Culture status? Not only was security at the General Aviation compound found gaping open (literally) by one of our reporters recently, but while held up at the terminal waiting for a severely delayed flight, Mr Brocklebank found that three out of four public telephones were not working (signage for these telephones and the toilets was also very poor).
The delayed passengers were told food vouchers would be available at the passenger services desk – except there was not one in departures, as confused travellers eventually discovered.
