All,
Birmingham had nearly 3 years of night closures ,firstly for the new runway extension taxiway and then diverted A45 loop.
Then it restarted for resurfacing of the existing runway. Due to the very wet past 2 winters the work over ran by more than 6 months.
However from last winter and until the closures ended end of March 15, the closure hours were far less.ie 23.00- 3.30 23.00 -2.30am etc and some of the freight flights like the Fed Ex were retimed where possible.
However many of the ad hoc freighters which make up the majority of BHX pure freight flights arrived before 11pm so not as much night disruption as you might think.
