FLEDGLING long-haul carrier FlyBlu has finally
confirmed it will launch flights to Florida this summer.
It will operate six weekly flights from Birmingham to
Orlando Sanford starting from June 3 and will begin services to St Petersburg
and Fort Lauderdale the following month.
Plans for the carrier will be officially unveiled at
the Destinations Exhibition in Birmingham at the end of this month.
The carrier originally hoped to be in operation by
Easter, but the launch was delayed by problems in securing aircraft.
It will operate a two-class
service – silver and gold – on a Boeing 767 aircraft.
