Managing director, bmibaby, Crawford Rix, said:

“We are pleased to launch the new routes from Manchester Airport to Toulouse and Amsterdam, and we are already seeing strong bookings to these destinations. Amsterdam is a key business and leisure route and our frequent low cost flights to the city will allow even more people to access this great city.

“In addition we are the only low cost carrier to fly from Manchester to Toulouse, so we are opening up a new destination to Manchester and the regions. Toulouse is a cosmopolitan city, the fourth largest and fastest growing city in France and offers the perfect blend of heritage, lifestyle, events and festivals, so we believe it will be a very popular route from Manchester.”
