US Airways Inaugurates More Flights to the U.K.

US Airways has added season nonstop service to Birmingham from the airline’s international gateway at Philadelphia International Airport. Birmingham is the first of three new US Airways offerings in 2009, preceding Oslo, Norway and Tel Aviv service to begin later this summer.

Senior Vice President, East Coast, International and Cargo Operations Suzanne Boda said, “We’re thrilled to expand our presence in the United Kingdom with new Birmingham flying. Our customers will have spectacular trans-Atlantic access via our international gateway at Philadelphia from London’s Heathrow and Gatwick Airports, Manchester and Glasgow, in addition to Birmingham.” Flights are daily except Monday and Wednesday.
