Cardiff 2017 UEFA Champions League Final Charters





Thousands of fans have arrived in Cardiff for the Champions League final. Up to 170,000 people have traveled to the city for the world's biggest sporting match of 2017, with many arriving on Saturday morning to watch Juventus F.C take on holders Real Madrid for the UEFA Champions League match. Cardiff Airport was unable to accommodate any of the heavy charters, so Birmingham Airport stepped in to take on the extra traffic.

Midlands Engine & Midlands Connect | We Make the Midlands

Published on 4 May 2017

The Midlands’ geographical location at the centre of the UK gives it an inherent advantage in ensuring it is well connected to the wider UK economy. 92% of the UK’s population can reach the Midlands in less than four hours.13 45% of British rail freight goes through the Midlands.

Transport bosses in the Midlands are considering proposals to build a terminal building linking the HS2 station to Birmingham Airport. The HS2 Interchange station will be located approximately 1.2 miles away from the airport and, if plans go through, could include a mover system to transport passengers to get their flight.

This could open up the doors of international travel for HS2 customers, as passengers in London may be tempted to go to Birmingham to catch their flight, as it will only take around 38 minutes to get to the Midlands Engine on the high-speed service when it is planned to open in 2026.

Midlands Connect is a pan-Midlands partnership of 23 Local Authorities, nine Local Enterprise Partnerships, the Chambers of Commerce, Highways England, HS2 Ltd, Network Rail, Birmingham Airport and our Sponsor the Department for Transport. It aims to deliver the enhanced connectivity required to power the Midlands Engine, maximising the Midlands’ position as a hub of the national transport network; driving economic growth, trade and productivity.
