Birmingham Airport BHX is Britain's newest global gateway. Using the message "Hello World" across the airport site and throughout its marketing communications activities, the airport aims to reposition itself as a
truly global gateway airport.

Birmingham airport is a viable alternative to London Heathrow & Gatwick. Plans for a third runway at London's Heathrow Airport have been scrapped by the new Conservative Liberal coalition government.

Trains from London Euston to Birmingham International railway station currently take around 70 minutes, while a high speed link from the capital could reduce the journey to 38 minutes.

Birmingham airport will not just be London's third runway as they have their our own traffic and, linked to high-speed rail, they are uniquely positioned to not only claw back people from their own region, who make the long journey to Heathrow, but to attract passengers from the overheated south east. Manchester airport's catchment area is easily accessible via the mainline rail.

The Airport lies within the historic boundary of Warwickshire County. Shakespeare's birthplace shares the same county and is only 18 miles away from Birmingham Airport. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust is located in Stratford-upon-Avon.

JRR. Tolkien the wrtier of Lord of the Rings grew up in early 20th century Edgbaston, Birmingham, close to a Victorian waterworks. The bog and two towers located in south Birmingham was the inspiration for JRR Tolkien's celebrated fantasy fiction The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

  • What a nice video! Liked!

  • @LAKOPUNJABI Basically you need a new airport!

  • Someone's got a sense of humour!

  • BHX is getting larger every year, see by 15 to 20 years it may reach half way to Heathrow's Level. I went today and it has extensively changed from last year, whilst last year it had changed extensively from two years before that..BHX needs a 2nd Runaway, more flights, viewing area of flights, and larger terminals.
