bmibaby carries record number of passengers in first week of operation – true low cost already delivering results at Birmingham –

bmibaby, the award winning airline with tiny fares is already showing the people of Birmingham and the West Midlands the true meaning of low cost fares. Just one week after successfully launching flights to nine European cities from Birmingham International Airport, the airline will have carried almost 10,000 passengers, a record for any launch by bmibaby, having sold over 125,000 seats already for travel until October 2005.

The airline cites the main reason for this incredible start as its true low cost fares and its reputation throughout the Midlands as a quality low cost airline. The uptake of flights from Birmingham prove that passengers have been waiting for some time to fly at an affordable price to the range of services the airline now offers. By choosing bmibaby’s services to Amsterdam next week, passengers can make a saving of more than £250 on a return flight.

David Bryon, commercial director for the airline said:
“Existing carriers on routes such as Amsterdam, Belfast and Edinburgh have been charging high fares for far too long. For example, for some flights next week bmibaby is only charging £15.95 one way, including all taxes and charges compared to over £125 one way with the competition. There’s really no comparison, especially when you take into account the fact that business travellers can cut 25 minutes off their flying time when choosing bmibaby.

“In addition to the low fares, we know that customers appreciate the extra benefits bmibaby provides, Boeing 737 jet airlines, online seat selection and a generous hand luggage allowance of 7kg plus a laptop computer.”

bmibaby currently serves nine routes from its new base at Birmingham: Amsterdam, Belfast (International), Edinburgh, Alicante, Prague, Malaga, Knock, Palma and Geneva increasing to twelve throughout the busy summer season with the addition of Murcia, Bordeaux, Nice and Cork. Internet fares start from just £15.95 one way including taxes and charges.

Good start for baby at BHX! 😀 🙂 😀
