Eastern Airways changes Birmingham terminal

Eastern Airways has announced that it is to switch all of its flights from Birmingham Airport's Terminal 2 to Terminal 1 next month.

The move will take place on June 4th and will also see passengers benefit from a new dedicated fast-track security channel at Terminal 1. This will enable flyers to avoid security search queues, the carrier said.

Terminal 1 is also equipped with a new Eastern Airways sales and customer service desk, with passengers able to use check-in desks 50 to 54 when taking a flight from Birmingham Airport.

"Switching to Terminal 1 will benefit all our customers, as we can now offer a fast-track security channel, enabling 30-minute check-in to boarding times," remarked Roger Hage, ground services manager for Eastern Airways.

The airline recently launched a new non-stop service between Newcastle and Stavanger, replacing a previous route that stopped over at Aberdeen.
