Operating mostly as normal

Birmingham Airport closed yesterday between about 3pm and 8pm, disrupting flights. The airport is open as normal today with a small number of cancellations and a small number of severe delays.

While most flights are taking off and landing as planned, please check with your airline before setting off to Birmingham airport on Thursday. A small number of arrivals are severely delayed and a small number of departures are cancelled.


Our advice to all customers whose journeys may be disrupted:

  • Monitor local news and official travel advisories for the latest updates.
  • Contact your airline and accommodation provider directly for the latest information on your specific travel plans.
  • Consider the flexibility of your bookings:
    • Customers with Flextras: Free cancellations bookings can cancel any time up to the booked day and time of travel if required. You'll be issued with a flexible voucher that you can use to rebook once you have your new travel details.
    • Flextras: Saver customers can cancel for a voucher that you can use to book the same product again once your new plans are confirmed.
  • Use our online amends system to change dates, times, terminals, or other booking options, as well as cancelling your booking if necessary.
