In line with network expansion plans, bmi regional, the UK’s most punctual scheduled
airline, has announced it is launching a new route from Birmingham to Billund, Denmark
The route will operate six times a week with flight prices starting from £59 on sale now,
with the first flight scheduled for Monday 3 June 2013. Billund Airport is well served by
both train, bus and taxi services and is only a short distance from popular attractions
such as Legoland, Lalandia Aquadome (a tropical waterpark open year around) and
Givskud Zoo. It also provides easy access to the much lauded Jutland Peninsula which
offers stunning walks, biking and log cabins
This announcement follows the launch of a number of new European routes by
bmi regional from Birmingham including Toulouse, Lyon and Gothenburg, creating
a better network for both leisure and business travellers from the Midlands
Chief Commercial Officer, bmi regional, Steve Hoy said: "We’re pleased to announce
the route to Billund from Birmingham today. With fares starting from as little as £59
each way, we are reducing both the cost and travel time for both business and leisure
travellers who wish to travel to West Denmark. With increasing congestion in some
London airports, Birmingham Airport is a great alternative to those who recognise the
benefits of less crowded airports, speedy boarding, good shopping and eating facilities"
Jesper Klausholm, Head of Airline Relations and Marketing, Billund Airport, said: "Our
airport is the second largest airport in Denmark and 42% of total Danish GDP is
generated in Billund's catchment area. More than 40% of the Danes going to the
West Midlands are travelling for business, and over 70 Danish companies have
offices in the UK Midlands. This new route from Billund with Birmingham is going
to greatly improve business connections between these two cities"
