Birmingham Airport announced a £2 billion development scheme that aims to more than double its passenger traffic and increase capacity to about 30 million passengers a year by 2041, after handling over 13 million passengers last year.
The plan includes new baggage‑handling facilities, additional aircraft parking bays and the creation of over 50 000 jobs, of which 3 800 are expected to be on‑site, with Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander calling it a massive boost for the West Midlands.
