Spanair revise start date of new BHX routes

Spanair have revised the starting dates of their new services to BHX

- flights to Barcelona now start on Monday 7 June 2010 with

the Madrid service starting on Tuesday 8 June 2010

.

These new routes were launched with a fairly short lead time and

that combined with the overlap with bmibaby, Barcelona service

ceases on 6 June 2010, the failure of an English team to reach the

Champions League final (in Spain) and the impact of the Ash cloud

on forward bookings have all conspired against the May launch date

.

Frequency/timings of both routes have not been changed -

scheduled to meet business and leisure travellers' needs and

both destinations will be served all year round

.

Paul Kehoe, Birmingham Airport's CEO, said, "From May we will

provide the only direct Madrid service south of Liverpool and north

of Watford Gap and with the excellent road and rail access to

Birmingham it's a no brainer for people wanting to reach Spain's

capital city from this stretch of the country. We are obviously

delighted too with the news that Barcelona will continue to be

available for our passengers once the current service stops in June"

.

Spanair CEO Mike Szucs commented: "With the introduction of

these new routes from Birmingham, Spanair is delighted to create

a year-round gateway to Spain from the Heart of England. Via our

hubs in Barcelona and Madrid, passengers will enjoy connections to

a range of Spanish peninsula cities and Islands, which they could

otherwise only reach during the peak season with low cost carriers

and charter flights. With competitive fares, a free baggage

allowance and allocated seating, Spanair offers tremendous value

to leisure travellers, while allowing business travellers to fly direct

to Spain's leading business centres in Barcelona and Madrid

without enduring the hassle of London's airports or connecting

flights. We are very much looking forward to filling the gap left

by low cost and full service airlines on these important

routes for the Midlands region"
