By May 15, 2018 January 16th, 2020 News

The low-fare airline, Primera Air, has begun flights from Birmingham Airport with the inaugural flight taking off from Birmingham to Malaga with 152 passengers.

The launch marks the beginning of Primera’s flight programme from the airport, with Palma departing on 14 May, and flights to New York launching on 18 May.

Flights to Toronto, Las Palmas, Alicante, Barcelona, Crete and Reykjavik will also start in the coming months.

“It was great to welcome the airline on this sunny morning here at Birmingham Airport and to celebrate their new Midlands operation by giving the aircraft a water arch on departure,” said Tom Screen, acting aviation director. “These additional frequencies to Malaga and Palma complement the existing services we have to the Med and Primera’s low fares will, I’m sure, be welcomed by Midlanders.”

He continued: “With new direct services to New York and Toronto launching soon with Primera too, we are offering passengers the chance to fly across the pond non-stop, low cost, several times weekly.”

Anastasija Visnakova, chief commercial officer at Primera Air, said: “It was a pleasure to welcome our passengers this morning on the inaugural service to Malaga. The range of destinations, both European and transatlantic, at fantastic prices creates more choice for passengers travelling from Birmingham Airport.

“We have growth plans for Birmingham and we look forward to working with the airport and serving the region’s leisure and business travellers throughout 2018 and beyond.”
