Birmingham becomes one terminal airport
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. Departing passengers now use a new single departures area with self-service and manned check-in desks and an enlarged combined security search area. Inbound passengers will arrive into a single arrivals meet and greet area.
Further work at the terminal will see the opening of a new duty free shopping area and fashion house in the next few months, with the single terminal conversion completed in the summer. Will Heynes, the airport's operations director, said: ‘This £13m project puts Birmingham Airport in a stronger position to attract new customers and be the region's global gateway. This project will create a smoother journey for passengers 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 passenger numbers by 2018. Although the scheme will not be fully completed until July, the transition into a single terminal facility is a major milestone for the airport.’
