Birmingham Shuttlesworth International Airport BHM is located 4.5 miles from the city of Birmingham, and close to four major US Interstates. It is Alabama's largest airport serving the Greater Birmingham area and surrounding southeastern cities. The Airport was formerly known as 'Birmingham International Airport' and renamed in 2008 in honor of Alabama's civil rights activist, The Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth. Birmingham Shuttlesworth Airport is host to many major airlines serving over 3 million passengers annually and offering direct and connecting flights to all parts of the world.
