Birmingham Airport Runway Extension Opens!!!
Finally, on 27th May 2014, planes were able to taxi onto the new runway 33 extension via the new taxiway Sierra.

Here are United Airlines 757 and Emirates 777 doing just that. Note the escort car for the 777 - the first real biggy to roll over the new asphalt.
