New McDonald's restaurant opens at Birmingham Airport in 'convenient location'

A new McDonald’s restaurant has opened at Birmingham Airport - a joyous announcement for travellers who fly from the West Midlands hub.

The new restaurant opened today (May 20) for dine-in, takeaway, Drive Thru, Click & Serve and McDelivery.

It will be open for 24 hours, seven days a week.

Nick Barton, CEO of Birmingham Airport, said the new restaurant is “conveniently located”.

It is located on Jetstream Road, which is at the entrance of the airport.

The new 50-seater restaurant has created more than 100 new full and part-time jobs for the local community. It has been developed in close collaboration with local businesses.

Mr Barton said on the opening: “It was great to officially open the brand-new McDonald’s on-site here at BHX. The new restaurant, conveniently located at the entrance to the airport, will be able to serve both our arriving and departing passengers and our local community.

“The unit has been built in a sustainable and responsible format which supports the airport’s net zero target and will also offer electric vehicle charging points within its footprint. We wish Dean and the team all the best on the opening and look forward to working in partnership.”

Local McDonald’s franchisee, Dean Chapman, who now owns and operates 14 McDonald’s restaurants, added: “We are delighted to be opening a brand-new McDonald’s restaurant at Birmingham Airport and we are looking forward to wishing a great journey for those heading off on their holidays or work trips, as well as those just returning hungry having missed their McDonald’s!

“People are at the heart of our business, and we look forward to welcoming new employees with the jobs our restaurant will create. We’re committed to investing in opportunities for a mix of all ages, life stages and backgrounds, promoting flexibility and equality.”
