Birmingham International Airport now known as Birmingham Airport was also formerly known as Elmdon Airport. The modern era began in 1984 for Birmingham International Airport.

On 30 May 1984 Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II officially opened the new terminal which is located on the east side of the runway adjacent to the Birmingham Airport (International) railway station and the National Exhibition Centre, able to handle three million passengers a year. It included a Maglev Airport Rapid Transit system, running between the airport and Birmingham International railway station on a 600-metre (1,969 ft) track. The original Art Deco 1939 terminal and control tower are still visible and are in use as aviation related offices, near hangars to the west of the runway.
