Bmi Regional is to start a new service from East Midlands airport to Cologne Bonn in February next year.
The carrier, a subsidiary of Bmi, will offer a six-times weekly service between the two cities, following Easyjet’s withdrawal from the route.
Flight BD211 will depart East Midlands at 1015 Monday to Friday and 1100 on Sundays, arriving into Cologne at 1235 (1320 on Sundays). The return leg BD212 leaves Germany at 1305 (1350 on Sundays), arriving back into the UK at 1335 (1420 on Sundays).
The carrier says the route will also enable connections to other German cities such as Hamburg, through its partnership with fellow Star Alliance airline Lufthansa.
Bmi will use Embraer 135 (37-seat) and 145 (49-seat) aircraft on the route, with prices starting from £49 one way.
