Birmingham Airport looking 100 years into future with £7bn airport plans
Birmingham Airport will tell the government today that it could build a second runway and handle 70 million passengers a year.

The airport, which is extending its current runway, now has nine million passengers a year.

The Airports Commission will decide by December if Birmingham's proposal will go on a shortlist for further consideration, along with expansions of Heathrow or a new London airport.

A321 landing without speedbrakes
Uploaded for the record. Monarch Airbus A321 landing on runway 33 at Birmingham Airport/BHX/EGBB, the outermost spoilers on the upper wing surface deploy on landing but the other speedbrakes/spoilers don't.
I have added a 'normal' landing shot afterwards for comparison.
The A320-class spoilers are described at http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/tech_ops/read.main/308319/
