Birmingham Airport becomes one terminal hub
09.02.11
Birmingham Airport has become a one terminal facility, with terminals one and two merged to form one terminal for all arrivals and departures. All departing passengers will now use a new enlarged combined security search area and single departures area with self-service and manned check-in desks. Inbound passengers will arrive into a single meeting and greeting area.
Further work at the airport will see the opening of a new duty free shopping area and fashion house in the next few months. Will Heynes, the airport's operations director, said: ‘This £13m project puts the airport in a stronger position to attract new customers and showcase the airport as the region's global gateway. Our goal for 2011 is to improve the passenger experience. This project will create a smoother journey through the terminal and improve our overall efficiency.'
‘Over the next 10 years we will invest a further £100 million in our facilities, which will help us achieve our vision of doubling our passenger numbers by 2018. Although the scheme will not be fully completed until July this year, the transition into a single terminal facility is a major milestone for the airport.’
