Commencing on Friday April 15th, Munich will be served 12 times per week by bmi regional from Southampton Airport.

For leisure visitors, Munich enjoys year round appeal ranging from its famous Oktoberfest, the stunning English Garden and of course the spectacular Christmas markets.

Munich is also the ideal gateway to plenty of holiday opportunities year round in the nearby Bavarian and Austrian Alps, including skiing and hiking, or a romantic escape to one of the beautiful fairy-tale castles and numerous lakes for which the area is renowned.

The launch of the new bmi regional service between Southampton and Munich opens up a convenient, great value and reliable way for passengers from the south and south east to easily reach Germany.

Furthermore, additional onward connections from Munch with bmi regional, mean travellers can tap into other European cities such as Brno (Czech Republic) and Bern (Switzerland), each time flying with bmi regional’s professional service.

Jochen Schnadt, chief commercial officer said: “We’re excited to be adding Southampton as new destination to our ever growing network connecting it to our developing Munich Hub.

“This new service will further improve bmi regional’s presence in the South and South East, making bmi regional an attractive and value based choice for customers from the South East of England.

“The addition of the connectivity from Munich into other European cities will certainly add to our appeal for our guests.”
