Travellers set to benefit from bmi-Swiss codeshare

Travellers are expected to benefit from a new codeshare agreement between bmi and Swiss.

Effective immediately, the deal will see the British carrier codeshare with Swiss, which is part of the Lufthansa group, on all routes to Switzerland from the UK.

Bmi will therefore be able to offer fares on flights to Zurich, Basel and Geneva from Heathrow Airport, London City Airport, Birmingham Airport, Manchester Airport and Edinburgh Airport.

The new agreement marks an extension to the partnership between bmi and Swiss, which began with the opening of a route from London Heathrow to Geneva in January this year.

Katherine Gershon, bmi's sales and marketing director, said: "Our new codeshare agreement with Swiss is in response to demand and will provide significant benefits to customers, opening up the beautiful country of Switzerland.

"The alliance will mean our customers will have the opportunity to travel on new services between our key departure points, Switzerland and beyond."

Bmi also has codeshare agreements with Aegean Airlines, Continental Airlines and other carriers.
