Low cost airline bmibaby has this afternoon launched a massive expansion plan at East Midlands Airport . This expansion includes:

  • Three additional aircraft to be based at East Midland Airport
  • Eight new European routes from the airport to: Alghero (Sardinia), Barcelona, Bastia (Corsica), Cork, Dubrovnik (Croatia), Malta, Newquay and Venice
  • Increased frequencies on key winter and summer routes, with the addition of Palma to the winter flying programme and a year round service to Geneva
  • Increased frequencies on key winter and summer routes, with the addition of Palma to the winter flying programme and a year round service to Geneva


    • As a result of the new routes and additional flights, the airlines’ capacity will increase by 40 per cent from East Midlands Airport.  All of the new routes are currently not served by any other low cost airline.  bmibaby’s massive expansion plan will mean that an additional 350,000 passengers will fly with the airline to and from East Midlands Airport in 2010, and 2,872 additional flights will be operated by bmibaby from the airport next year.  All flights will go on sale within the next 24 hours.  The news comes just days after easyJet announced its departure from East Midlands Airport.

    bmibaby will now offer 24 European destinations from East Midlands Airport: Alghero (Sardinia), Alicante, Almeria, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Bastia (Corsica), Belfast International, Cork, Dubrovnik (Croatia), Edinburgh, Faro, Geneva, Glasgow International, Grenoble, Jersey, Malaga, Malta, Menorca, Newquay, Nice, Palma, Paris (CDG), Prague and Venice.

    We continue to be a champion of the consumer market – currently we are offering no credit and debit card fees on all flights, and skis and snow boards fly free of charge on bookings to any of our snow destinations.
