New bmibaby routes from Manchester

bmibaby has announced the launch of two new services from Manchester Airport, providing travellers with the opportunity to book great-value flights to Amsterdam and Toulouse.

The airline will operate a twice daily service to the cosmopolitan city of Amsterdam from Sunday to Friday, with just one flight available on Saturdays. In addition, it will also operate three flights per week to Toulouse in France, available on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. bmibaby is currently the only low-cost airline offering services from Manchester to Toulouse.

With the introduction of the two new flight routes, bmibaby expects to increase its passengers number by 106,000 between Manchester and Amsterdam, and 26,000 between Manchester and Toulouse over the summer period.

Crawford Rix, managing director of bmibaby, said: "We are pleased to launch new routes from Manchester Airport to Toulouse and Amsterdam this week, and we are already seeing strong bookings to these destinations. Amsterdam is a key business and leisure route and our frequent low cost flights to the city will allow even more people to access this great city.

"In addition, we are the only low cost carrier to fly from Manchester to Toulouse, so we are opening up a new destination to Manchester and the regions. Toulouse is a cosmopolitan city, the fourth largest and fastest growing city in France, and offers the perfect blend of heritage, lifestyle, events and festivals, so we believe it will be a very popular route from Manchester."

Prices to Amsterdam with bmibaby start from as little as £24.99 one-way including taxes and charges, and fares to Toulouse start at £35.00 one-way including taxes and charges. For further information, visit www.bmibaby.com.
