Latest figures issued by BHX reveal that 13.004 million passengers travelled through the airport in the 2024/25 financial year.
The figure was bolstered by a record March, which saw over 950,000 passengers travelling through the airport, a 3.8% increase compared to the same period last year. Birmingham Airport remains on track to exceed this figure this year with close to 14 million passengers forecast to travel through the transport hub in 2025/26.
To accommodate this continual growth, the airport has announced further investment in both terminal facilities and infrastructure to improve the customer experience including an additional baggage carousel in the north terminal, a reconfiguration and expansion of the south immigration area and two further security screening lanes. Whilst operational areas and capacity is top of the development list the airport recognises the experience that it provides to its customers and as part of this a new food and beverage area, to cater for the increase in customers, is planned to open in 2026.
Nick Barton, CEO of Birmingham Airport said: “It’s been another record year for Birmingham Airport with more customers than ever choosing to travel through BHX. This new record, which finished with a record March, shows BHX is on its way to its forecasted passenger milestone of 18 million by 2033.
“Construction works on our infrastructure and terminal facilities have already commenced to accommodate this growth as we further enhance our customer experience including two additional security search areas expanded terminal facilities and new concessions.”
