Travel agent updates from Birmingham Airport’s Tom Screen
Cologne n A bright start for BHX
We hope you have all had a bright start to 2024 and a positive, albeit busy, peaks booking period. Here at Birmingham Airport we’ve been working tirelessly to ensure we’re ready for the opening of our next generation security screening area in the coming months. It’s really exciting to see it all coming together as we move closer to the new facility being ready to process its first passengers this spring. We’re forecasting our busiest ever year so are continuing
to invest in our customer experience to ensure we deliver the best service we can. We’re hoping that in the next couple of months we will
have some more exciting announcements to share with you regarding new airlines to BHX but in the meantime, we really appreciate your continued support of our existing carriers. We’re about to celebrate easyJet opening its base here this month and we have routes to Barcelona, Berlin, Jersey and Enfidha that are looking strong for the summer. Once again, I must remind you to take advantage of our
25% off parking in car park 5 that is available to all agents for your own holidays this summer, as a thank you for all the support you continue to provide. Just email
