bmibaby stops Manchester - Alicante & Malaga routes

bmibaby is cutting two of its Manchester routes to Spain. The airline will stop its services to Malaga and Alicante in the coming weeks.

Owners of Malaga apartments and Alicante villas should be aware of the changes to bmibaby's Manchester operations. Both services have run from the city since 2003, according to The Manchester Evening News.

The Manchester-Malaga service will cease on November 14, while the Alicante route will end the following day. A spokeswoman for bmibaby told the paper that there are no plans to relaunch the services in summer 2010. The carrier says that all passengers due to travel on the axed services have been contacted and offered a full refund.

Manchester Airport's Andrew Harrison reassured travellers that it is still possible to reach the two destinations from the hub. Jet2.com, easyJet, Thomson, Thomas Cook and Monarch all operate from Manchester to Alicante and Malaga, he said.

bmibaby says that it remains committed to Manchester and "will continue to offer flights to exciting European destinations from the airport". The airline has recently added extra flights to Prague from the airport. New bmibaby routes from Manchester to Lourdes and Faro will also start next summer.
