Birmingham Airport (BHX) continued its record-breaking performance in October, welcoming 1,263,730 passengers and marking another consecutive month.
The airport also unveiled its draft Master Plan, with public consultations now underway across the region, outlining its long-term ambitions for future growth and development.
Dublin, Amsterdam, Palma, Alicante, and Malaga were among the most popular destinations, reflecting continued demand for both leisure and business travel. October also marked an important milestone for BHX with the launch of EGYPTAIR’s new direct service to Cairo, further strengthening the airport’s international network and providing convenient onward connections across Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East.
Looking ahead to summer 2027, BHX announced the arrival of Air Transat, which will introduce twice-weekly direct flights to Toronto. The new service will restore a key transatlantic connection between the Midlands and Canada, opening up further opportunities for business, tourism, and visiting friends and relatives.
Matt Hazelwood, Chief Commercial Officer at Birmingham Airport, said: “October has been a brilliant month for Birmingham Airport and there has been plenty happening across the business worthy of celebrating. We’re seeing continued strong demand from passengers across our current flight programme, supporting the introduction of new or extended services and reinforcing our confidence in the exciting developments planned for the airport in the years ahead. I look forward to seeing what the winter season has in store, with the return of several popular seasonal routes for passengers to enjoy.”
