Crawford Rix, managing director of the BMI, said he has seen a strong demand for traditional summer sun destinations. "The extra capacity will also make bmibaby the largest low cost carrier flying from the Midlands to the Mediterranean and our great low fares mean that people can still afford to get away for a holiday this year," he commented.
Bmibaby will now offer 12 flights a week to Malaga from Birmingham and seven weekly flights to Murcia.
In other news, a recent survey carried out by the airline revealed that 41 per cent of Brits spend between £21 and £40 on a typical night out, which in some cases is more than the cost of a flight to Spain.
The airline bmibaby has announced it is starting new flights to Spain this summer, with flights from Manchester Airport to Madrid and Barcelona opening in June and September respectively.
Those wishing to travel on a Spanish holiday will welcome the announcement which sees the airline introduce the Madrid flight on a Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Barcelona route will run four times a week on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
Crawford Rix, managing director of bmibaby, expressed his delight that the airline was offering these destinations, highlighting that the Manchester to Madrid route was not currently served at the airport.
"Our new four flights a week to Madrid, a culturally rich destination will delight many with its cosmopolitan charm," he added.
The newly announced routes will join the already established flights to Alicante from Manchester which bmibaby currently operates.
According to the BBC, the Association of British Travel Agents has claimed that Spain will be one of the most popular package deal destinations. |
