Hangarage & Based Aircraft

The Business Aviation Centre at Liverpool John Lennon Airport is an integral part of our hangar complex situated at the General Aviation Apron.

​

Hangarage is available for based aircraft on a 90 day notice basis and can be made available on an opportunity basis for visiting aircraft. Outside parking is also available for based aircraft. We have a wide range of GSE available for GA / BA aircraft.

​

Ravenair-LAS can also provide hangarage in airport owned hangars subject to availability.

​

Liverpool is an ideal base for private and business use aircraft. 7 Day – H24 All-Weather availability and full RFFS is standard. Airport Runway Slot Co-Ordination is not required and the prevailing runway is a short taxi from the GA Apron.

​

LJLA has a requirement for all based aircraft to be affiliated to a based tenant company. Ravenair-LAS is the Lead Tenant under contract on behalf of the Airport Authority and controls the GA Apron and provides oversight over all users. All GA Tenants operate under a General Aviation Operation Licence (GAOL) issued by the Airport which is overseen by The Lead Tenant.

​

We are the only full service FBO at the Airport and are the only company which operates H24 when required and has approval for Control Authority Clearance and Presentation of passengers and crew at the main terminal building.

​

Airport Operations Instruction AOI26 details the basic rules of operation at the GA Apron. Based and visiting pilots should familiarise themselves with the requirements.
