Birmingham Airport (BHX) has invested a further £3.8 million in its assisted travel service with the introduction of a fleet of brand new purpose-built ambulifts.
Twelve new ambulifts will be rolled out over the next 10 months at the regional transport hub, increasing the airport’s capacity to support passengers with disabilities or additional needs.
As part of ongoing improvements to the airport’s assisted travel service, twelve new THUNDERLIFT 6000 ambulifts from leading aviation ground equipment manufacturer, AVIOGEI, will be rolled out into service by the end of summer 2026.
News of the investment follows the appointment of Wilson James as Birmingham Airport’s designated provider for Assisted Travel services in March 2025.
