Papal Visit – No Public Viewing Area at Birmingham Airport

To avoid disappointment, we strongly advise people wishing to see The Pope not to come to Birmingham Airport on 19th September as the departure event will take place in a restricted zone, away from all public areas.

The events of the day, including the airport departure, will be televised on BBC2.

Black cabs operate a 24-hour service from directly outside the arrivals area of the terminal buildings.  Each taxi can carry up to five passengers (some can carry six), with luggage and are able to take wheelchairs.

For journeys in Birmingham and Solihull metered zone fares will be displayed during the trip.  All black cabs accept major credit cards, provide receipts and are the only cabs licenced to operate from the airport without prior booking.
