Airline expands at Manchester Airport

Passengers will have more choice at Manchester Airport after bmibaby announced two new services in its summer 2009 flight programme, according to reports.

The budget airline will now operate from Manchester Airport to Toulouse and Amsterdam, as of March 29th, 2009, while the schedule includes a double daily service to Amsterdam on weekdays plus an additional service on Sunday.

Crawford Rix, managing director, bmibaby, said he believed the airline was going "from strength to strength" despite the challenging economic climate.

He added: "We decided to launch our summer 2009 flying schedule earlier this year, to not only give people something to look forward to, but also to meet consumer demand.

"Customers have been contacting us asking when they can book next year's flights, this shows that the appetite for travel is still very much alive and kicking in Manchester."

A new automatic number plate recognition airport parking security scheme was launched at Manchester Airport last month.
