Aircraft viewing area
Birmingham Airport offers a free official aircraft viewing area, whether you follow aircraft arrivals and departures keenly, want a family day out for the kids to see aircraft up close or just want to come and observe the comings and goings on the airfield.
As the area is located in Car Park 5, if you are arriving by car and parking here, normal turn up car park prices apply. Seating is provided in the area, and close proximity parking.
The aircraft viewing area provides picnic benches and a great view of the runway. Location: within Car Park 5 next to the airfield perimeter fence, there are signposts to direct you to the spot.
As an alternative for aircraft using Runway 15 then Sheldon Country Park is an option to view. Car parking for this park is provided by Birmingham City Council and is conveniently located near to the park here.
We do not support the parking on residential roads that can cause inconveniences and upset to our local communities.
