Blue Air launched its second batch of routes from its Liverpool base this week, having opened its first UK station last week

On 31 March the airline commenced four weekly flights to both Hamburg (HAM) and Milan Bergamo (BGY). “Liverpool is a brand new destination that we never had in our timetable before. Hamburg and Liverpool have a special connection thanks to music: Liverpool was the hometown of the most famous band – The Beatles – and their career really began with their first gigs in Hamburg,” said Jörgen Kearsley, GM Aviation Marketing, Hamburg Airport at the launch. The 847-kilometre link to Hamburg and 1,239-kilometre connection to Milan Bergamo will not face direct competition.

However, it should be noted that for the start of W17/18 Ryanair is planning to begin flights from Liverpool to Milan Malpensa. Both routes will be flown on Blue Air’s 737-800s. Currently Blue Air has a further two routes to be launched from Liverpool this summer, with flights to Alicante scheduled to begin on 29 April, while services to Larnaca are expected to premier on 17 June.
