Winter flying from Wales put on sale by bmibaby
The first phase of winter flights from Cardiff has been put on sale by low cost carrier bmibaby.
The airline is to serve Alicante, Faro, Malaga, Murcia and Palma, plus flights to Geneva and says more routes will be announced shortly.
During the peak ski season, flights will operate to Geneva.
The airline’s managing director Crawford Rix said: “Contrary to recent sensationalised reports, bmibaby is committed to its operation from Cardiff and will continue to offer low fares to exciting destinations.
“We will be celebrating six years of flying from the airport this year and hope to see many more successful years operating from Cardiff.â€
The airport’s managing director Patrick Duffy added: “It is good to see this commitment from bmibaby to the region and as we reach the six year anniversary of bmibaby flying from Cardiff we are extremely pleased to see them continue to assert their position as our largest low cost carrier.
“The Geneva service proved hugely successful for winter 2007 resulting in more flights being added and contributed towards a highly successful winter season.
“We are therefore pleased bmibaby is operating up to five times a week for 2008/9. The ski demand from south Wales was clearly evident in 2007 flight schedules.”
