There have been calls for the airport to be re-named to honour the Birmingham-born former Black Sabbath singer, who died this week.
Osbourne never lost his Brummie accent despite spending much of his life in the US and a movement is gaining steam to honour the larger-than-life rocker with a petition launched by fan Dan Hudson after his death.
“Naming our international airport after him would be a fitting tribute to his extraordinary career and contributions to the arts,” Hudson said.
“Together, we can celebrate the legacy of Ozzy Osbourne and the incredible influence our city has had on the world stage, thanks to him.”
He cited examples of British airports named after celebrities including John Lennon Airport in Liverpool and George Best Airport in Belfast.
