Managing director, bmibaby, Crawford Rix, said:
“We are pleased to launch our winter flying programme today with brand new routes from the regions. For the first time we will be flying to Grenoble from our four UK bases. Grenoble is located in the very centre of the Alps and will be an extremely popular destination for those looking for a winter snow holiday. We expect to carry over 28,700 passengers to and from Grenoble over the winter months.
“Due to the success of our new summer route from Manchester to Toulouse we are pleased to announce that this service will also be operated in the winter months. bmibaby is the only low cost carrier to offer this route from Manchester Airport and we believe that it will continue to be popular throughout the winter especially as the city is perfectly located to access Andorra, a great place to ski.
“We have seen strong early bookings for summer 2009 as people are keen to save money by booking early. We believe this trend will continue for the winter season as people want to secure a great deal and their ideal dates of travel.”
