Bmi Regional has announced it is adding 7,000 sears from Bristol airport, responding to regional demand in the southwest.
The new capacity will be added on services to Frankfurt and Munich from February next year ahead of the start of BMI’s summer schedule in March.
There will be three daily departures to Frankfurt from February 2 and two daily departures to Munich three days a week from February 3.
Flights to Frankfurt will now depart at 6.40 am, 11.50 am and 4.30 pm and return flights arrive in to Bristol at 10.30 am, 3.40 pm and 8.45 pm.
The new Munich service will operate on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday departing Bristol at 6.55 pm (Tuesday and Thursday) or 5.25 pm (Friday), returning at 11.25 pm (Tuesday and Thursday) or 9.55 pm (Friday).
BMI Regional chief commercial officer, Paul Sies, said: “ Due to customer demand we’ve brought forward our Summer 2015 schedule with flights now starting February 2.
“Travellers from Bristol and the southwest now have more flexibility and choice to get to Frankfurt and Munich.
“For our Munich customers, the addition of an evening flight means that you can avoid the hassle of the ‘red eye’ early morning flights, and enjoy a good night sleep ready for any meeting the next day.
“Of course, all customers flying with Bmi Regional benefit from our ‘bags fly free policy’, our complimentary full bar, as well as our free breakfast and bistro service on board.”
