Yellow Travel Limited, the top provider of taxis from Birmingham Airport celebrating 21 years in business in the West Midlands this year, has expressed delighted at official figures published by the local international travel hub which confirms yet another record breaking month of passenger numbers.
The good news has now consistently stacked up for a record 19 consecutive months in a row. September 2016 was the busiest month of September in the history of Birmingham Airport. In all, over 1.2 million people traveled through the airport last month alone, an increase of almost 16% on the same month last year. To break these significant statistics down even further into plain language it basically means that the airport has enjoyed its 5th consecutive month this year where it handled over a million passengers in a 4-week window.

“This is a very healthy growth rate year on year equating to almost 165,000 more passengers being served here. It gives us a strong start to the Autumn travel period,” explained, Paul Kehoe, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Birmingham Airport. “As we approach the Winter season we will commence a £100 million package of terminal works to improve the customer journey in time for the busy Summer 2017 period.”
As a provider of taxis from Birmingham Airport, this has all been terrific news for our local, national and international customers. The biggest jump is seen with long haul flights which have grown by almost 22%. On the short haul front, flights are up by over 15% year on year. Scheduled flights made up a whopping 87% of the overall passenger volume for the month of September 2016. This represents a growth rate of over 27% when our team compared it to the same month last year. We were also very interested in tracking that charter flights still play an important role in the schedule at 13%.
It was interesting to discover that exciting destinations in the Middle East, Europe, the Caribbean and Asia witnessed the largest jump in passenger figures compared to the same month in 2015. But why? This is due to Birmingham Airport management being gifted at securing new deals that make it one of the most vibrant airport facilities in the United Kingdom.
