Martin inflight meals are relaunched with an amazing summer menu featuring mouth-watering treats
like slow-braised balsamic beef and roast chicken breast available on board

Aviation Director for Thomas Cook, James Burrows, said: "This is a really exciting year for us at
Birmingham with exciting new routes for both independent travellers and package holiday customers.
Together with Birmingham Airport, we're going to more and more great holiday destinations to give
our customers the choice they deserve for their hard-earned holidays"

William Pearson, Aviation Director of Birmingham Airport said: "We are delighted that Thomas Cook has
launched these new flights from Birmingham Airport. The airline is not only offering more capacity on
popular leisure routes but also introducing a brand new destination from Birmingham to Comiso which
means passengers can now visit the beautiful island of Sicily from the Midlands. Thomas Cook is an
established airline that offers something for all passengers, from flight only to all-inclusive holidays
and we welcome its decision to expand from Birmingham"
