flybe has announced a further expansion of its 2016 Summer programme from Birmingham Airport
with the addition of three new routes to regional France, namely Nantes, Rennes and Limoges
Flights will operate five times a week to Nantes – the historic port city on the Loire River
in western France. Nantes is ideally situated as a gateway to the beaches of the Atlantic
coast and highlights of the Loire Valley, including Muscadet wine, cycling and river tourism
Rennes, the capital city of Brittany, boasts a 2,000 year history. Its architectural mix ranges
from the medieval, with cobbled streets and plenty of hidden corners to explore, to 18th
century. It is an ideal base from which to discover Brittany, including the Forest of Brocéliande
– which legend claims is the home of Merlin, King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake. Flights
to Rennes will operate four times a week
Limoges is a town of art and history in west-central France. The Limousin Region is a popular
destination for fishing, horse-riding, golf and mountain biking, owing to its beautiful and diverse
scenery. Flights to Limoges will operate twice a week
William Pearson, Aviation Director, of Birmingham Airport, commenting on the route announcements
said: "We are delighted that flybe will be offering flights to these currently unserved cities in France
giving passengers more choice to these business and leisure destinations. flybe serves 30 destinations
from Birmingham offering great service and fantastic value. flybe is Birmingham Airport’s largest airline
and we welcome its expanding route network"
