1. We’re
turning
the
pond into
a puddle.
That’s what an extra 400
metres (or meters to our
American friends) of runway
can do. Make the world
a much smaller place.
Birmingham Airport’s runway
extension allows aircraft to
take more fuel, freight and
passengers. And fly up to
an extra 2,000 nautical miles
which means we can now
take passengers direct to
the Americas. We’re also
equipped to land a fully-laden
A380, so goodbye to the long
taxi to (and at) Heathrow and
hello to more of the world.

2. Fly direct
to the
not-so-far
East.
Only 400 extra metres of
runway and the Far East
is suddenly just a stone’s
throw away. Birmingham
Airport’s runway extension
allows aircraft to take more
fuel, freight and passengers.
And fly up to an extra 2,000
nautical miles which means
we can now connect business
and leisure passengers direct
between Birmingham and the
Far East. We’re also equipped
to land a fully-laden A380,
so goodbye to the long taxi
to (and at) Heathrow and
hello to more of the world.

3. The
world now
revolves
around the
Heart of
England.
Just 400 extra metres of
runway has turned a regional
airport into an international
transit airport. Birmingham
Airport’s runway extension
allows aircraft to take more
fuel, freight and passengers.
And fly up to an extra 2,000
nautical miles. Situated
right in the centre of the
country, Birmingham is
the perfect stop over for
people flying between
the East and the West,
as well as for connecting
long haul passengers with
smaller cities in the UK.
