Primera Air announces another destination with direct flights to Toronto from Birmingham Airport

Primera Air have announced the opening of another North America destination from its new base
in Birmingham. Services to Toronto, Canada, will commence on Saturday 23 June 2018 and will be
a year round operation offering three weekly flights on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday

Daily flights to Newark New York and four weekly flights to Boston were announced earlier in the year

Andri M. Ingolfsson, the President and Chairman of Primera Air, said: "Yet again, we are very proud
to announce our new direct routes from our European bases to Canada. Toronto will be a great
addition to our earlier announced Newark New York and Boston routes from Birmingham"

"With our brand new Airbus A321NEOs aircraft, we are opening routes previously traditionally served
only by wide-body aircrafts. With unmatched efficiency of these new-generation aircraft, we will be
able to offer unprecedented prices to our passengers from the UK. At the same time, we are very
proud to be offering a low-fare/high quality product and service concept, that will be perfect both
for leisure and business travellers"

Aircraft will provide two classes of cabin - full-service Premium and low-fare Economy, Wi-Fi and
the opportunity for all passengers to charge their devices on board

William Pearson, Aviation Director at Birmingham Airport, said: "It is welcome news that Primera Air is
expanding its choice of popular Transatlantic destinations from Birmingham by adding a new route of
Toronto.  Having only announced two routes to Boston and Newark New York in July of this year this
shows the demand that Primera Air is seeing from the Midlands. We recommend that passengers book
ahead to avoid disappointment as we expect seats  will sell quickly."
