Bmibaby, the newly created no-frills arm of BMI British Midland, launched services last week from East Midlands Airport to Barcelona, Dublin, Malaga, Murcia, Nice, Faro, Palma and Prague. Services to Ibiza will begin in May. The airline is operating two Boeing 737-300s transferred from BMI. "We have been staggered by the demand since we opened for bookings just six weeks ago," says Bmibaby managing director Tony Davis. Rival low-cost carrier Go launched services from East Midlands earlier this month.
