About the Eurohub terminal

The Eurohub is built as a 'hub and spoke', which allows it to be the first teminal in the world to combine domestic and international passengers, without problems customs and immigration control which previously demanded separate terminals.

Still at the forefront of airport facilities, Birmingham Airport was the first Airport in the UK to have the wireless internet facility. The Eurohub has wi-fi hot spots provided by iPass.
