About

Arriving at Birmingham Airport

Birmingham serves the Midlands with a single terminal, making arrivals straightforward.

The airport handles a mix of budget carriers (Ryanair, Jet2, TUI) and legacy airlines (Emirates, KLM, Lufthansa). Some long-haul destinations are available direct, including Dubai.

From landing to arrivals is typically 15-20 minutes. The airport is compact compared to Manchester or Heathrow.

The Air Rail Link connects the terminal to Birmingham International station (90 seconds), with fast trains to London Euston and Birmingham New Street.

For Midlands pickups, Birmingham is often more convenient than flying into London airports.

Pickup tip

Short stay car park is close to terminal. Air Rail Link connects to Birmingham International station.
