Cignpost Express Test has opened a new drive-through Covid-19 testing facility at Birmingham airport.
PCR tests are available for £80 per person for travelling passengers, and £99 per person for the test-only service. The facility will offer eight lanes and a testing capacity of 8,064 tests per week.
It adds to the group’s existing walk-in centre, which opened within Birmingham airport’s terminal building in January.
The news follows the airport’s confirmation last week that it is to take part in a UK government trial allowing certain flights from red list countries to operate, providing they arrive into dedicated terminals at Birmingham and Heathrow airports.

Commenting on the new facility Christian Corney, CEO of Cignpost Express Test, said:
“At Cignpost Express Test we are passionate about providing customers with very best testing experience as they prepare to travel. We have seen increasing desire for testing since international travel resumed in England and expect to see increased demand in the coming days and weeks.
“Our new drive through centre at Birmingham Airport builds upon a strong pre-existing partnership and will be a great addition to our nationwide services. We are proud to bring Covid-19 screening services to the local community, and whether for personal or business travel, we remain committed to delivering the best possible service at an affordable price.”
