BIRMINGHAM Airport and Europe’s third largest low-fare airline, Norwegian, have announced that flights will commence to Madrid, Barcelona and Malaga from Birmingham next summer.
Norwegian will offer regular services to the trio of Spanish routes, with Madrid becoming a brand new destination from Birmingham. Madrid will commence on March 31 and will operate each Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Malaga will commence on March 30 and will operate every Monday, Friday and Saturday, and Barcelona will start on June 1 and fly each Monday and Friday.
Paul Kehoe, chief executive of Birmingham Airport said: “We are very pleased to be able to announce this new airline and offer more new routes from Birmingham, and I thank Norwegian for choosing to launch Birmingham to these popular Spanish destinations.
“Although Norwegian is new to the Midlands market, I am certain that consumers – both business and leisure - will be impressed with the carrier’s low fares and efficient service, which has allowed them to grow to carry more than 20 million passengers a year. We are therefore very pleased to be welcoming Norwegian to Birmingham next summer.”
