Managing director, bmibaby, Crawford Rix said:
“MIPIM is one of the biggest events of the year in the property world calendar, and as a result we have increased capacity on our flights from Birmingham to Nice to meet extra demand this week.
“We are delighted that Councillor Mike Whitby is flying with us to the event and we wish Team Birmingham every success at the conference. Birmingham offers a host of development opportunities and the airport is key in providing a gateway to the region. We hope that the team secures millions of pounds worth of inward investment for Birmingham.”
Leader of Birmingham City Council, Councillor Mike Whitby said:
“The City Leadership has brought together a formidable ‘Team Birmingham’ to hit MIPIM 2009 with force. Birmingham’s success at MIPIM has helped secure GBP20bn worth of investment for the city over the next 10 years and we will continue to ensure this is a trend that continues to grow.
“In these challenging economic times a solid public/private sector partnership is a necessity for achieving the city’s ambitions and we are working with a whole range of businesses to ensure that Birmingham pulls together as a city and we welcome bmibaby’s support to help make MIPIM 2009 a success for Birmingham.”
