bmibaby customers at Birmingham Airport got a slice of
the action last weekend as the low cost airline celebrated
its inaugural service to Rome

bmibaby launched its new route to the Italian capital with
a specially commissioned bmibaby pizza comprising
delicious buffalo mozzarella and meatballs

Served up by waiters in traditional Roman togas, customers
at Birmingham Airport tucked into the pizzas before heading
through to departures for their flight. bmibaby mascot, Tiny,
was also on hand to distribute pizza and bid farewell to
customers jetting off for the city

this weekend. The airline also commenced new services to
Barcelona on Friday 30 March and to Lisbon which took
