Transport hub reveals new plans to build larger departure lounge and revamp baggage capabilities
Birmingham Airport is planning a £15 million expansion of its terminal building which will include an expanded departure lounge and baggage area.
The transport hub lodged new plans with Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council last week and a three-week consultation period will start soon.
The project which is named as Terminal Extension 3 (TE18), will involve some demolition work, reconfiguration and renovation of existing departure lounge toilets and re-provision of an existing smoking terrace.

It has also opened a tender process to find a contractor to carry out the work.
Birmingham Airport said: “This proposed extension will be located between the existing main terminal and the short pier, within the existing airport boundary.
“The extra terminal space is intended to ensure a high level of customer service at Birmingham Airport, ensuring more comfort to our passengers.
“This proposal is an extension to the existing departure lounge and outbound baggage processing facility.”
