Bmi regional increases capacity to Brussels
Bmi regional is now operating larger aircraft on its East Midlands to Brussels route to meet growing demand.
The route is now being operated by an Embraer 145 aircraft, which offers 30% more capacity than the Embraer 135 which previously serviced the air link.
The extra capacity comes into immediate force for the summer 2008 timetable which was launched on March 30.
In July and August, it will fly three times a day, adding more than 2,000 seats over the two months.
Flights are timed to connect with Star Alliance partners at Brussels.
In particular connections are available to Scandinavia with SAS, Germany with Lufthansa and Austria with Austrian Airlines.
