Construction has started on a £45 million replacement for Birmingham International’s main terminal building.
The new International Pier will replace the current Terminal One and has been designed to accommodate the new generation of wide-bodied aircraft such as the Airbus A350 ‘suberjumbo’ and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
The airport’s operations director, Will Heynes, said: "This investment will provide the airport with facilities to enable it to meet the growing demand for international services to global destinations from Birmingham. Once complete, the Pier will provide a high quality gateway into the Midlands for foreign visitors.”
The new facility will provide air-bridged bays for seven wide-bodied aircraft and enough space to serve 13 smaller aircraft.
