bmibaby announces further development from Scotland

bmibaby, the award winning airline with tiny fares and the largest operator of services from Scotland to the Midlands has announced further development on its network from Scotland.

From September 2007, bmibaby will be increasing the number of daily flights from Edinburgh to Birmingham International to five a day with early morning departures at 7am and 8.45am, offering real choice for the business traveller. Combined with the three times daily service to East Midlands Airport this makes a total of 46 flights per week offered by the airline from Edinburgh to the Midlands.

The airline will also be increasing the number of daily flights from Glasgow International to Birmingham to four services a day. This combined with the current four times daily service from Glasgow International to East Midlands makes a total of 41 flights per week offered by the airline from Glasgow International to the Midlands.

bmibaby is the only operator in Scotland to serve the two major airports of the Midlands region in England: Birmingham International and East Midlands Airport.

David Hodge, bmibaby marketing director, said:

"As the largest operator of services from Scotland to the Midlands, bmibaby is pleased to be able to announce even more expansion to our route network with the introduction of a five times a day service from Edinburgh to Birmingham International with two business friendly morning departures at 7am and 8.45am."

"We are also ramping up the number of daily flights on services from Glasgow International Airport to Birmingham International to four times a day."

"Fares on all routes from Scotland to the Midlands start from just £20.99 one way, including taxes."

"We remain committed to developing our low fare services from Scotland and have further exciting news in the pipeline."

bmibaby has been embarking on a prolific expansion programme over the last 12 months.

The airline also offers a double daily service from Aberdeen to Birmingham International with fares starting from just £18.99 one way including taxes.
