1930s – 1970s
Birmingham Airport is celebrating its 70th Anniversary and since its first ever flight in May 1939, the Airport has grown from strength to strength to become the Midlands gateway to the world and position of regional pride. To handle the growing number of flights and passengers, construction on a new Airport terminal on the other side of the runway began in 1981 with a capacity for 3 million people. It opened in 1984 by Her Majesty the Queen and handles record passenger numbers during the first few years.
