Birmingham Airport has opened a new boarding lounge for gates 58 to 60 as part of a £76.5m investment plan. The new boarding lounge features improved design with transparent partitions to enhance passenger flow. Al Titterington noted that the gate enhancements aim to improve the efficiency of the boarding experience during peak summer months.
The airport plans to process nearly 14m passengers this year and will also install additional baggage carousels. Wizz Air and Turkish Airlines are adding flights this summer from Birmingham to Rome and Istanbul.
Al Titterington shared “The latest improvement to these boarding gates is one of several terminal enhancements that will be unveiled as we continue to service historical growth at BHX. Passengers in this area will now enjoy modern new-look boarding lounges which are more spacious, accessible and in line with our current design standards. Most crucially, the gate enhancements will improve the efficiency of the boarding experience over this peak summer period. We look forward to announcing further details of improvements to our terminal facilities in the coming weeks and months as we expect nearly 14m passengers this year.”
