Why not "The Beatles Airport"?

Question

Why is liverpool's airport called John Lennon Airport and not The Beatles Airport? Why have they named it after only one of the beatles? I don't think that's fair on the others. If they were going to choose an individual, why not Paul Mccartney Airport.

Answer 1

Maybe they chose a decease Beatles rather than a living ones. Perhaps this airport named way before George died.

Baltimore Washington International airport ( BWI airport in MD, USA)- was renamed Thurgood Marshall airport to honor the former US Supreme Court justice, who grew up in Baltimore after he died but local people still call it BWI.

Answer 2

Because Paul McCartney was not assassinated.

Answer 3

I agree.  If you were going to choose one over another, Paul would have been my choice because he has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.

But, I doubt if any of them would care.  I know John and George don't, haha.
