The Kissing Gate at Liverpool John Lennon Airport

At MJ Consulting Engineers, we specialise in delivering expert structural engineering solutions that enhance airport retail and concession spaces. Our latest collaboration on the refurbishment of The Kissing Gate at Liverpool John Lennon Airport highlights our expertise in designing for high-traffic environments while ensuring comfort, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

Our Role in the Project

The Kissing Gate, a well-loved dining destination for travellers, has been transformed into a bright and inviting space, offering the perfect setting for passengers to relax before their flights. The refurbishment introduced a fresh, modern look while maintaining the venue’s warm and welcoming atmosphere.

MJC played a key role in ensuring the structural integrity of the renovation, working closely with designers and contractors to integrate engineering solutions that supported key elements of the space, including:

Open and Airy Layout – The refreshed design enhances passenger flow, creating a seamless and enjoyable experience for diners while maintaining structural stability.

High-Durability Fixtures and Finishes – Given the high footfall, we provided structural solutions that prioritise longevity and resilience, ensuring the space remains visually appealing and functional for years to come.

Optimised Seating Arrangements – From intimate dining areas to larger communal tables, the layout required structural adaptability to accommodate a variety of seating configurations without compromising on comfort.

Enhancing the Passenger Experience

Airports demand innovative, efficient, and visually engaging spaces that enhance the traveller journey. Our work on The Kissing Gate aligns with Liverpool John Lennon Airport’s commitment to offering high-quality dining experiences that cater to all passengers. By ensuring a structurally sound and well-designed environment, MJC has contributed to making The Kissing Gate a standout venue in the airport’s hospitality offering.
