About Birmingham Airport

Birmingham Airport is the largest airport outside London by passenger volume, serving as the main gateway for the English Midlands and handling over 12 million passengers annually. It operates two parallel runways but the shorter secondary runway restricts larger wide-body aircraft, concentrating most traffic onto the main runway during peak periods. Birmingham is a significant hub for transatlantic charter operations during summer.
