US Airways, the fifth largest airline in America, will start daily flights in May and operate them throughout the summer.

Peter Vella, business development director at the airport described US Airways as a ‘premier airline’, and said the start of the new link to the US would be a massive boost for the region in terms of trade links and tourism. Birmingham currently has just one direct route to the US, the Continental Airlines connection to New York (Newark).
