Internationalising Birmingham Airport
The Birmingham Post reports that Work begins on Birmingham International Airport extension with work starting on the project to provide a new international pier as part of the ongoing development to cater for increasing numbers of passengers and to support the development of the masterplan.
The £45 million extension which will be three storeys and 240m long and 24m wide will replace the existing facility built in 1984. The investment marks the biggest single investment at the airport for 20 years.

The new facility will provide air-bridged aircraft parking for seven wide-bodied aircraft and enough space to service 13 smaller aircraft at any given time. The pier will also provide vertical segregation to separate inbound and outbound passenger traffic, in line with national security requirements. New gate lounges for passengers will also be created.http://www.birminghampost.net/birmingham-business/birmingham-business-news/other-uk-business/2008/06/19/work-begins-on-birmingham-international-airport-extension-65233-21104985/
