International Buyers to Benefit from SkyRail Link for Autumn Fair 03

March 21, 2003 MH 0 Travel, Worldwide,

The technology of the Austrian Alps has found its way to Birmingham with the launch of SkyRail – the futuristic new system linking Birmingham Airport to Birmingham International Station in a matter of seconds.

International buyers to Autumn Fair 03 visiting the NEC Birmingham from Sunday 7 September – Wednesday 10 September, will be able to reap the benefits of the new hi-tech installation.

Birmingham is the first airport in the world, and the only location in Europe, to install the Austrian-built system. It is capable of transporting passengers between both airport terminals and the NEC’s international rail station in just 90 seconds, 24 hours a day and will be free of charge to all passengers.

SkyRail is linked to the Birmingham International Interchange, which is attached to the Birmingham International rail station. The two-storey building features a new bus and coach station with two quality waiting lounges on the ground floor, while the first floor provides a public concourse offering information on timetables, ticketing and real-time flight arrivals and departures. There will also be an improvement to the road set-down areas.
