Birmingham to Krakow service announced
Tue, 13 Nov, 2007
Budget airline bmibaby has revealed it is to open a new route between Birmingham Airport and the Polish city of Krakow early next year.
The first flight on the twice weekly service will take off on February 12th and tickets will be available from £21.99 one way, including all taxes and charges.
David Hodge, the airline's commercial director, said that although he expects many of the passengers on the route to be Polish nationals working in the UK, there are also likely to be plenty of holidaymakers keen to take a look at the historic city.
"Krakow will also be really popular as a short break destination, as many consider it to be the most charismatic and prettiest city in Poland," explained Mr Hodge.
Earlier this week, rival low-cost carrier Ryanair commenced a new six times a week service which links Birmingham Airport with Shannon in the west of Ireland.
