Hellenic confirm Birmingham - Athens / Jeddah flights
24.07.09
Hellenic Imperial Airways announced yesterday that a new weekly service will launch between Birmingham Airport and Athens, with onward connections to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia tomorrow. The airline hopes to increase the route to a twice weekly service in August, subject to demand.
The Greek registered scheduled airline will operate a Boeing 747-200 aircraft with 450 seats on the route. Return flights start from £199 (plus taxes) to Athens and £399 (plus taxes) to Jeddah.
The flight will arrive into Birmingham on Saturdays at 19:00 and depart back to Athens and Jeddah at 22:00. The second flight planned to launch next month will operate on a Monday. It will arrive into Birmingham at 17:00, departing back to Athens and Jeddah at 22:00 the following day.
The Chairman of Hellenic Imperial Airways, Talal Abureyal, said ‘Birmingham is our first UK airport and we are very excited about launching services in the Midlands. Athens, which is our HQ, is not currently served from Birmingham so we expect that our flights will be welcomed by those travelling for business and leisure, in particular those visiting friends and relatives.’
Flights can be booked through www.hellenicairways.com or by calling Hellenic Imperial on 0121 635 5796.
