bmi is to launch a new service to Berlin on March 28 as part of a restructuring of its European network.
    An Airbus A319 will operate the four daily services, featuring a business class cabin offering hot food, a fully stocked bar and spacious seating.
    Economy passengers will be offered free baggage check-in up to a total weight of 20kg and a complimentary food service including a hot breakfast.
    Dominic Paul, managing director of  bmi mainline, said: ‘We are delighted to announce a service between London and Berlin which offers a good schedule and competitive prices to one of Europe’s most exciting cities.
    ‘Berlin is a major centre of culture, politics, media and science in Europe and customers travelling with bmi will have the opportunity to discover the cultural attractions Berlin has to offer.’
    The new service is the second to be announced as part of bmi’s new summer schedule, with a route from London to Vienna being confirmed in January. It will operate from Heathrow’s terminal 1.
