Terminal and Concourses
BHM currently has one terminal building with one concourse. The landside terminal (the area before the security threshold) has two levels. The upper level has ticketing and check-in facilities, restaurants and bars, business centers and meeting rooms, as well as an observation lounge. The lower level has baggage claim facilities, areas to book ground transportation such as rental car and taxicabs, and local and regional hospitality facilities. The airport also has its own police force with offices on the lower level of the terminal.
The only concourse currently in operation is Concourse C. Terminal A referred to the former 1962 terminal, which was still in use as office space until closed in 2011. Concourse B was closed in June 2011 and demolished alongside Terminal A for the first phase of the terminal modernization project to make way for two new concourses, to be titled Concourses A and B. Upon completion of the modernization project in 2014, the main terminal will be doubled from its current size and will have 3 concourses: A, B and C.
