new routes join the bmi network
bmi CUSTOMERS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TWO NEW ROUTES AVAILABLE FROM 25 MAY
WE’RE DELIGHTED TO announce our new Manchester to Lyon service from 25 May 2007. This daily, direct service will be the only direct link between the two cities and will appeal to both the business and leisure traveller. France’s second city stretches back to Roman times but is best loved for the here and now: for food, fashion and culture. Its thriving arts scene, fine opera house, museums, monuments and superb shopping offer something for everyone to enjoy.
Further developments also include our London Heathrow to Jersey service which launched in March. Two flights a day now connect the island with London Heathrow, which has been without direct links to the airport since 2001. As well as offering better links to central London, this route will also provide a smoother journey for onward connecting passengers.
These new routes will be a great introduction to our ever growing network, and join the five route launches already announced for this summer, including Edinburgh to Zurich, Leeds Bradford to Copenhagen and Lille, and Aberdeen to Brussels and Kristiansand.
