US Airways launches flights to Philadelphia from Birmingham

US Airways has expanded its network of transatlantic services with the launch of new flights from Birmingham Airport to Philadelphia.

The new connection started operating yesterday (May 12th) and will be available five times a week, with departures from Birmingham Airport every day except Tuesdays and Thursdays.

People travelling to Philadelphia on the new flights will be accommodated in 12 business class seats and 164 seats in the main cabin.

Birmingham is the first of three new destinations that US Airways will serve this year, with Oslo and Tel Aviv following later in the summer.

Suzanne Boda of US Airways said: "We're thrilled to expand our presence in the United Kingdom with new Birmingham flying.

"Our customers will have spectacular transatlantic access via our international gateway at Philadelphia from London's Heathrow and Gatwick Airports, Manchester and Glasgow, in addition to Birmingham."

US Airways' network of services from London includes flights to Las Vegas, Orlando and Chicago in the US.
