Fly to Madrid from Birmingham International Airport
Tue, 18 Sep, 2007
Passengers living in the midlands can now benefit from a new route launched by bmi to Spain from Birmingham International Airport.
The new service will go to the country's capital, Madrid, flying four times a week from the West Midlands city.
Business development director of Birmingham International Airport Peter Vella commented that he is looking forward to helping bmi make the route a success for passengers.
"It's fantastic news that the service to Madrid is being reinstated by bmibaby. This popular European capital destination is ideal for business passengers and for leisure travellers seeking a city break," he remarked.
Marketing director bmibaby David Hodge added that Madrid is a "vibrant, cosmopolitan city".
Visitors taking advantage of the new route, which commences in December, may want to prebook their airport parking to make the trip more convenient.
A recent survey by the airport found that two-thirds of passengers returning to the midlands after a summer holiday suffer from post-holiday blues.
