bmibaby axe two Manchester routes
04.11.09
bmibaby has axed two Spanish routes from Manchester Airport as it seeks to stem losses and the strength of the euro diverts tourists to other holiday destinations. It will end services from Manchester to Malaga on November 14 and Manchester to Alicante flights will stop the day after.
The airline said there were no plans to reintroduce the services next summer. Both of the flights have been operating for six years and bmibaby blamed consumer demand for the decision to end them. But with the airline is currently being restructured by new parent Lufthansa, who are trying to stem massive losses, these route cancellations are likely to be the first of many for BMI.
A spokesman for Manchester Airport said passengers still have a wide choice of flights to the two destinations, which are served by easyJet, Thomas Cook, Jet2, Thomson and Monarch. Any affected passengers are being contacted by the airline as soon as possible and will receive a full refund.
