Birmingham Airport security line live as passengers ‘build up’ queue outside entrance

A huge queue for security wound its way from the front door of Birmingham Airport this morning, leaving holidaymakers furious. Passengers flying out of BHX took to social media to vent their frustrations today (May 17).

Some claimed they arrived at the airport early to ensure they boarded their flight on time – but were still hit by huge delays. The massive line wound out of the building and along the check-in areas before even reaching security.

The airport is currently carrying out construction work to build a “more streamlined” security area. The airport’s main escalators are out of service, and tourists are forced to use the elevators.

We are monitoring the situation at Birmingham Airport today and have contacted BHX bosses for comment.
