Bmi to launch new flights to Vienna

Bmi will launch new flights from Heathrow Airport to Vienna this year as part of a new product offering from the London hub.

The service will be introduced on March 28th and will be operated in conjunction with Austrian Airlines.

Passengers will be offered five daily connections between Heathrow Airport and Vienna, more than with any other airline on the route.

The flights are part of bmi's relaunch of its services from London Heathrow, which will get underway on January 27th and will include the introduction of a single economy cabin on its domestic network.

Customers who want an enhanced service can book flexible economy fares, which will provide access to business lounges at both ends of the route, guaranteed seating at the front of the aircraft and other amenities.

Dominic Paul, managing director of bmi, said the airline has revamped its UK and Ireland product in response to customer feedback and to meet the needs of a "changing marketplace".

He added: "We are committed to offering the best service at the best price for our customers and look forward to welcoming them on board our new flexible economy service.

"And for customers just looking for the cheapest fare from London Heathrow with the benefits of a full service airline, like free hold baggage allowance and pre-flight seat assignment, we offer that too on our economy fares."
