Can anyone provide the details on the renaming of the airport from the Birmingham Municipal Airport to the Birmingham International Airport? I vaguely remember that they were planning on building a new airport, but when the proposed site was revealed to be in Gadsden, the city and state dropped the idea and simply renamed the existing airport.

Does anyone know if runway 6/24 has been expanded to 12,000 feet? Bucs2004 22:13, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
I have checked FAA information, and it marks the length of runway 6/24 as 12002 feet. Hope this helps.-- Press208 ( talk) 23:14, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
The following request to move a page has been added to Wikipedia:Requested moves as an uncontroversial move, but this has been contested by one or more people.

If a full request is not lodged within five days of this request being contested, the request will be removed from WP:RM. — Stemonitis 13:49, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Due to the distinctly un-wikipedia style prose in the history section, I checked around for copyvios, specifically at the BHM website and found the history section was started as a copy/paste from the BHM history page added in this edit by User:Leonard23 (now apparently inactive). I am removing the remaining copyvio text and hope some wikipedian(s) can do the research to source and write a good history. Regards, AUTiger » talk 03:08, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
User 75.143.110.44 added a note on 04:09, 11 February 2008 that Delta Air Lines uses Boeing 757 aircraft during the busier Spring and Summer travel periods. I agree that at a minimum in Summer 2007 that was true as I remember seeing this aircraft with a mid-day departure, however I wondered if that upgauging is expected on an ongoing basis. A check of Delta's schedule for 6 weekdays in June, July, August 2008 found only MD88, CRJ700, and CRJ900 scheduled service between BHM and ATL. Unless someone has a reliable source for ongoing 757 service, I propose (gently) reverting this change. Thoughts? Civilengtiger ( talk) 20:23, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
I was wondering if the airport officially changed names? The airport's official website shows the name Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport but signage to the airport on B'ham interstates still show the airport as Birmingham International Airport. I was wondering if the name change was official cuase I renamed the article to the new name per their official website. Cashier freak ( talk) 02:04, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Delta and Southwest added flights from BHM to LAX in order to accomodate Bama football fans to the Rose Bowl game. These flights will only operate for 1 day only (January 7). Please do not add them as regularly scheduled destinations as these are charter flights. Thanks! Snoozlepet ( talk) 21:39, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
There are a couple of oddities here that don't appear in any other Wiki article on an airport's airlines and destinations that I've seen. First, the statement:
is an odd way of saying that Southwest operates 14 flights daily at BHM. The statement about 180 flight pairs is inaccurate in that (a) the Southwest timetable cited does not state that BHM is a connecting point for over 180 flight pairs; and (b) all of those 180-flight-pair connections are not offered for travel or purchase by Southwest. Those 180 flight pairs span the entire day, and Southwest does not offer connections with excessively long layover times. Removed for improved accuracy.
Also, the statement that:
is a bit more encyclopedic about Southwest Airlines, not about BHM, and thus it adds nothing to the article. This statement, like the first one, was made based on one Southwest Airlines timetable, and, as such, this information could change from one schedule release to the next. Best to leave it out altogether for improved readability. abl ( talk) 00:10, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
If anyone gets a chance, we need a couple of pictures of the new terminal that opened on March 13, 2013 including the baggage claim area, departures (exterior, interior, ticketing, security checkpoint), post-security (restaurants, shops), Concourses A and B gate area (Delta, Southwest, United, American, and US Airways). Thanks! 68.119.73.36 ( talk) 06:44, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
The flags in the picture in the Images section seem to be at half-mast. Is this just an optical illusion, or was there some special occasion for that? -- Tim Landscheidt ( talk) 14:37, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Should images of the airport prior to its "reconstruction" still appear in this article? I think it is reasonable for maybe one, or two, photos of the old terminals/concourses to remain, but there is little to show for the reconstruction of the airports commercial passenger facility.

why not photograph and link artists featured at the airport, especially Charley Lucas! 2604:CA00:10C:166E:0:0:460:B819 ( talk) 20:45, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
