Birmingham Airport (EGBB)

Handling is mandatory for general aviation at Birmingham, with several FBOs available. Example: handling about £80, landing about £40, parking about £20 per day. Discounts or upgrades may be available from some handlers. No Avgas is available on the airfield; only Jet fuel is offered. The GA apron and terminals are on the west side of the airport, separate from the main terminal and not easily accessible on foot; taxis or transport can be arranged by handlers, with an example taxi to the main terminal costing about £10. All aircraft must be transponder equipped. GAR notification is required for UK entry (see onlinegar.com). Procedures are generally straightforward, but expect long vectors during busy periods. The airport is described as efficient and GA-friendly, with helpful staff and minimal security hassle at GA facilities. For ground transport, direct taxis or ride-shares to the Elmdon building on the west side. Procedures vary; see AIP/NOTAM.
