Bmi regional is partnering with Virgin Trains to add a rail travel booking facility to its website, designed to make it easier for customers to travel beyond Birmingham International.
The move follows bmi regional’s recent announcement to establish a new base at Birmingham with services to Graz, Gothenburg and Nuremberg.
As of now, bmi regional customers will be able to book fares on Virgin Trains routes through the flybmi.com website.
The airline said the new agreement continues the momentum of its growth and product development strategy, which saw the launch of ‘highly successful’ partnerships with car hire company Sixt and Booking.com in September last year.
Customers are now able to book air travel, train travel, car hire and accommodation.
Bmi regional chief commercial officer Jochen Schnadt said: "This new partnership expands bmi regional’s reach in the UK and allows our customers travelling to/from Graz, Gothenburg and Nuremberg to conveniently connect on Virgin Trains to London, the North West and Scotland and the wider rail network."
Flights to Graz in Austria will start from bmi regional’s new Birmingham hub on February 27, followed by the launch of routes to Nuremberg in Germany and Gothenburg in Sweden in on May 8.
