Following a record December, Birmingham International Airport (BIA)
has set a new annual passenger record for the twelfth successive year
and has broken through the nine million passenger mark for the first
time. In 2003, 9,083,101 travellers used the UK's fifth largest
airport, an increase of 13.1% on the previous year.
Record passenger numbers were achieved in all twelve months, with the
busiest month ever experienced in August when more than one million
travellers used the Airport. The busiest day on record was also
achieved on Friday 24th October when 37,220 people travelled through
BIA's two terminals. This record was as a result of increased
activity due to the ITMA 2003 Exhibition, which was held at the
neighbouring NEC.
The year ended with the highest ever December passenger total, with
544,758 travellers using BIA, up 9.5% on December 2002.
