The new facility is the latest phase of a £100 million redevelopment
of the airport which includes the construction of a new International
Pier, a 3,365 space multi storey car park, Taxiway improvements
and an Air Traffic Control Tower due to be completed in 2013
Is this because of this?
Emirates on the piste in Brum
A plane diverted from London Heathrow due to the freezing weather conditions has partly come off the taxi-way at Birmingham Airport.
The Emirates aircraft, a Boeing 777-300ER, was carrying 282 passengers and landed routinely at 1354 GMT, Birmingham Airport said.
While proceeding to the terminal, it "inadvertently" taxied on to the grass, leaving a set of wheels stuck.
