Operational Procedures

Airport operations are complex and each airport has procedures and policies that are unique to the environment and communities that neighbour that airfield. In acknowledgement of this we have produced a range of publications and relevant data to help in understanding how Birmingham Airport operates. There are links here to a substantial amount of information, so please scroll down to ensure you find what you’re looking for. If this is the first time you have looked at this information, we suggest the ‘Policies and Procedures for arriving and departing aircraft' document is the best place to start.
