Birmingham International airport is located to the East of the city, lying off the M42 and A45. It is easily accessible from all directions and by all means of transport. It is directly linked to Birmingham International train station by 90-second monorail.

Birmingham International airport sits at the hub of the English motorway network and the centre of the country. As a result it is easy to drive to, being just off junction 6 of the M6 which is easily accessible from the M1, M5, M6 Toll and M40. Here are some directions for the most commonly used routes.

    Everything perfect - including one of your staff standing by the kerb when the bus was picking us up at the airport - this stopped queue jumpers! - not sure if that was the intention but as a lot of us waiting certainly stopped any agro. Thanks.
