BMI Regional has launched daily flights between Manchester and Lyon.
The airline’s new service creates a much-needed link between the North West and France’s second largest city, and is the only direct service available from any of the UK’s regional airports.
With a reputation as the gastronomic capital of France, Lyon is a major centre of business and is renowned for its silk, textiles and fashion. It also provides a gateway to the Alps and some of France’s oldest wine regions.
BMI Regional’s commercial director, Peter Kenworthy, said: “We are delighted to be launching flights between the cities of Manchester and Lyon, both of which are important business and popular tourist destinations. Our services are designed for the business and leisure traveller and we look forward to welcoming passengers onboard.”
The new service also provides a fast service between Scotland and Lyon as it connects with the airline’s expanding network from Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow to Manchester.
