Some facts about Birmingham Airport
- The airport identification code for Birmingham International Airport is BHX, and is sometimes shown on holiday booking confirmations and tickets.
- In 2009, Birmingham Airport celebrated its 70th year of operation with its first flight taking to the skies in May 1939.
- July 1991 saw the opening of the Birmingham International Airport's second terminal - the Eurohub.
- On March 3rd 2000, Her Majesty, The Queen, accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh, officially opened a £40 million terminal development, which provided a two-storey arrivals concourse linking the two passenger terminals for the first time, and a new pier with three glass-sided air bridges, 16 new check-in desks, a new baggage reclaim hall with 6 carousels, 12 new catering and retail outlets, and new Customs and Immigration halls.

The new 'International Pier' will replace the current out-dated facility constructed in 1984. It is the single biggest investment that the Airport has made in over 20 years.
We like to think we're a little different from your average comparison service. It's not because we dress up like famous people on Tuesdays, or because we put goat's milk in our tea - it's because we reach the parts other comparison sites don't.
