bmibaby celebrates the start of its new service to
Jersey
bmibaby is today celebrating the start of its new service from
Bournemouth to Jersey. The inaugural flight will depart at 13.30
today and bmibaby expects to carry over 24,000 passengers on the
new route over the summer months. Flights will operate on Monday,
Friday and Saturday.
bmibaby is currently the only low cost carrier to offer flights
between Bournemouth and Jersey, and fares start from £9.99 one way
including all taxes. The new route means a quick and direct route
to Jersey, with a flight time of 45 minutes, compared to a four
hour trip on the ferry.
Julian Carr, commercial director, bmibaby, said:
“We are pleased to start our new service from Bournemouth to Jersey. The island is a great destination, with something for everyone, from the family friendly Durrell Wildlife Park to great events such as Peter Andre and Russell Watson in concert, Jersey Live music festival and The Battle of Flowers – an amazing spectacle.
“Jersey is the perfect place for a weekend break, or a longer break. We are sure the new service will prove hugely popular with the people of Bournemouth and the region who want a quick, direct and low cost flight.”
"More and more people are appreciating the benefits of flying from their local airport and I'm delighted that bmibaby have now started operating from Bournemouth. Passengers are now using our new terminal building and, although we still have a lot of work to do, they are already benefiting from a much improved experience without losing the convenient, friendly feel."
