Bmibaby, the largest carrier in the Midlands, has announced a new service from Birmingham International Airport to Krakow in Poland. 

The new route to Krakow will start with a two times a week service for the winter operating from Birmingham on Tuesday and Saturday.

Services start on February 12 and flights go on sale today at www.bmibaby.com with fares starting from £21.99 one way, including all taxes and charges. 

The airline also plans to ramp up the number of weekly services offered for the summer which will be on sale shortly.

The addition of the new route to Krakow brings the total number of Bmibaby destinations from the airport to 23.  The airline plans to announce more new routes for summer 2008 very shortly.

David Hodge, commercial director, said: "The UK Polish community is a modern day phenomena and the new route from Birmingham will provide valuable links for friends and family in Poland and in the Midlands.   Krakow will also be really popular as a short break destination, as many consider it to be the most charismatic and prettiest city in Poland."
