Thu, 26 Jun, 2008
Low-cost airline Ryanair has announced a new route from Birmingham Airport to Prague, with fares starting from £25.99 for a limited time.
The new flight to Prague starts on October 26th and will operate five times a week - on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
This is Ryanair's tenth new route from Birmingham.
According to Ryanair spokeswoman Bridget Dowling, the new flight will carry an additional 70,000 passengers a year to and from Birmingham.
"The people of the West Midlands have a lot to celebrate," she added.
Among the destinations that passengers can travel to are Alicante, Frankfurt, Krakow, Derry, Palma, Malaga and Murcia.
Birmingham Airport has made some alterations to its car parking facilities to reduce congestion at drop off and collection points.
The short-stay car park is now a permanent 'drop and go' facility, costing £1 to park for 20 minutes and a further £3 for every 15 minutes after that.
