Birmingham Airport has issued a major parking update with an off-site meet-and-greet parking provider 'suspending' its operations. The measure comes into effect from today, Tuesday, May 21.

Blue Circle provided car parking services as well as at Heathrow and Luton airports. It had also offered parking at one of its protected car parks where holidaymakers would leave their vehicles and catch a transfer bus to the airport terminal.

The firm is in the process of contacting customers, which affects those with future bookings. Refunds are being offered, the airport said. BirminghamLive has contacted Blue Circle for comment.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Birmingham Airport posted: "#BHX has been informed by the off-site meet and greet parking provider, Blue Circle, that the company has suspended operations.

"Blue Circle is in the process of contacting its customers who have a future booking to cancel and refund. For customers impacted, and who still require parking, birmingham -airport>Birmingham Airport on-site official parking can be booked here: https://birminghamairport.co.uk/airport-parking/."
