Grenoble launch by Bmibaby
Ski flights to Grenoble will be introduced by Bmibaby from four UK airports next winter.
Flights will operate twice a week from East Midlands, Birmingham and Cardiff, plus once a week from Manchester.
Prices start at £34.99 one way including taxes and charges.
A summer route from Manchester to Toulouse will continue to run twice a week during the winter schedule which starts on October 25. Prices start at £29.99 one way.
The budget carrier is to start flying three times a week to Prague from Belfast International Airport from December 4 with fares starting at £36.99 one way.
The airline will fly to 19 European destinations for winter: Alicante, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Belfast International, Cork, Edinburgh, Faro, Geneva, Glasgow International, Grenoble, Ireland West Knock, Jersey, Paris (CDG), Malaga, Murcia, Nice, Palma, Prague and Toulouse.
Managing director Crawford Rix said:“We are pleased to launch our winter flying programme today with brand new routes from the regions.
“For the first time we will be flying to Grenoble from our four UK bases. Grenoble is located in the very centre of the Alps and will be an extremely popular destination for those looking for a winter snow holiday. We expect to carry over 28,700 passengers to and from Grenoble over the winter months.
“Due to the success of our new summer route from Manchester to Toulouse we are pleased to announce that this service will also be operated in the winter months. Bmibaby is the only low cost carrier to offer this route from Manchester Airport and we believe that it will continue to be popular throughout the winter especially as the city is perfectly located to access Andorra, a great place to ski.
“We have seen strong early bookings for summer 2009 as people are keen to save money by booking early. We believe this trend will continue for the winter season as people want to secure a great deal and their ideal dates of travel.”
