So the big cheeses at BHX have decided to drop the "International" title from the airport's name. I wonder how many rounds of golf and corporate away days it took to dream that masterstroke up?
Meanwhile across the pond our country cousins in sleepy Alabama proudly call BHM - Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport. Well they do have flights to 25 other US Cities!!
But good on them at least they seem to have ambition and enthusiasm.
Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is Alabama's largest airport serving the Greater Birmingham area and surrounding Southeastern cities. Offering more than 120 daily flights to over 25 cities throughout the United States, Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM) presently ranks in the country's top 75 airports in terms of passengers served annually. BHM served over 2.9 million passengers in 2009.
