Birmingham Airport has merged its Terminal One and Terminal Two to create a one terminal airport for both arrivals and departures.

The new terminal building will flow all departing passengers through a new enlarged security area. There will also be a single departures area which will house self-service and manned check-in desks. Whilst inbound passengers will arrive into a dedicated single meet and greet area.

Speaking about the new terminal building, Operations Director, Will Heynes, said “This £13 million project allows the airport to attract new customers as it enhances the passenger experience. It also helps us showcase the airport as the region’s global gateway.”

Further airport improvements and works will include a new duty free shopping area and a fashion house, opening in the next few months.

The terminal building merger is just one of many changes to the airport, being made to create double capacity of passenger numbers by 2018, as part of a £100 million investment programme over the next 10 years.
