Julian Carr, managing director, bmibaby, said:
“It is fantastic news for the Midlands that we are launching even more routes today. By offering exciting destinations we want to inspire our customers to make the most of our low fares and experience new destinations from their local airport.
“The new routes are part of our expansion strategy for the Midlands. We recently announced that will be basing two additional aircraft in the Midlands from the end of our summer 2011 flying programme and will now operate a total of 45 routes from the Midlands. We are committed to further growth in this region.”
Brad Miller, managing director, East Midlands Airport said:
“Only weeks after announcing an eighth based
aircraft and two new routes for winter 2011 from East Midlands
Airport, bmibaby has today announced further increases to their
route network from the airport, as part of their new summer 2012
schedule.
"Today’s news, together with recent expansion plans, further
demonstrates that bmibaby is continually striving to grow its
operation and extend its reach out of the East Midlands."
Martyn Lloyd, Birmingham Airport, air services development director, said:
“This route expansion gives passengers in the Midlands an even greater choice of destinations from Birmingham, removing the need to take long car journeys outside of the region. We’ve invested £100m in the last few years to improve the passenger journey and just last week we opened our new terminal, providing a brand new duty free store, a more pleasant security environment and larger arrivals zone. We look forward to welcoming more passengers to Birmingham and launching these new destinations next summer.”
