It was great to visit the control tower at Birmingham Airport and see first-hand the incredible work that goes on behind the scenes to keep passengers and aircraft moving safely every day.
Meeting the dedicated air traffic control team gave me an insight into the skill, professionalism and teamwork required to manage one of the UK's busiest airports.
Birmingham Airport is a vital part of our local economy. It supports thousands of jobs across Meriden and Solihull East and the wider West Midlands, connects local businesses to global markets, and welcomes visitors from around the world. As our region continues to grow, having a thriving international airport on our doorstep is a huge asset.
