service will prove successful in offering an attractive and affordable way for travellers
to access this major business and popular leisure destination"

extensive schedule to and from Birmingham Airport that now features a total of 23 routes
and a total choice of up to 598 flights each week. flybe looks forward to welcoming our
first Lyon passengers on board our new jet service in May"
