BIRMINGHAM Airport says it is ready for its busiest summer on record with more than 2.1million passengers expected to travel through the airport.
As the summer holidays get under way airport bosses say the busiest route for this season will be Palma, with more than 118,000 customers travelling to this summer destination.
Dublin was a very close second, with more than 100,000 jetting off to the Irish city.
Other top destinations of choice include Antalya, Dalaman, Amsterdam, Alicante and Tenerife.
Passengers are reminded that liquid rules for hand luggage are still in place following the reimposition from the Government.
Plastic bags for liquids are no longer required, all liquid containers need to be under 100ml.
Each airline has its own check-in time and customers are advised to follow this guidance. This detail can be found on the booking information.
Al Titterington, terminal operations director of Birmingham Airport said: “We are preparing for our busiest ever summer and we have worked hard to ensure plans are in place to enable a smooth journey through the airport.
“We have built temporary facilities to aid passengers get ready for security and also have additional customer service ambassadors on hand to help.
“In order to help, passengers should familiarise themselves with liquid rules and advice from airlines on when to arrive for check in.
“This summer will see passenger numbers return to pre-Covid levels, and potentially exceed them, so we have put in robust plans, including extra contingency plans for issues that may occur out of our control to assist everyone on their journey through the Airport.”
