Birmingham Airport updates liquid rules

Birmingham Airport updates liquid rules In 2018 all UK airports were advised of new Government legislation for the introduction of new security screening technology. This would allow a change to the rule on electrical items and liquids in hand luggage.

£10m aircraft stand upgrade to standardise aircraft parking Photo: @kebabselector at Forums4airports Birmingham Airport (BHX) is halfway through more than £10m of aircraft stand upgrades to make its operation more efficient and reliable for customers.

Andrew Holl, Airfield Operations Director at BHX, said: “Standardising these stands means, rather than having to wait for the right type of stand to become available, if any stand is free we can send an incoming aircraft straight to it. “That makes our operation simpler and more resilient, reducing the chance of delays for customers and...
