Progress to transform Birmingham Airport with a £300m capital investment program is set to continue throughout 2023.
With Birmingham allocated £50m of the funds, a new security hall is almost halfway complete, and will include new scanning equipment to process customers more efficiently.
A new solar-panel roof will also provide green electricity throughout part of the terminal, while four 50-person lifts will replace the current escalators.
Stephen Barker, development director for the airport, said: “We have made great progress in the last six months. We are aiming for a more efficient pre-flight screening process capable of serving greater volumes of people more effectively.”
The idea is to improve the customer experience as well as increase the number of passengers from 10m to 18m by 2033.
