has welcomed another new carrier with the arrival of Czech Airlines.

The airline has launched five times weekly services to the capital city of Prague.

The Airbus A319 aircraft was welcomed with a traditional water arch salute from the airport's fire service on its arrival into Birmingham.

William Pearson, Birmingham Airport's aviation development director, said: "We are delighted to welcome Czech Airlines as a new partner.

"This direct route, which was unserved from Birmingham Airport, gives passengers the chance to visit this picturesque city, known as The City of a Hundred Spires."

Ján Tóth, Czech Airlines' director of commerce and marketing, said: "I am glad that Czech Airlines is returning to Birmingham to connect it directly with Prague after more than 15 years.

"The Birmingham to Prague service is one of the eleven new routes we have prepared for the 2016 summer season.

"We strongly believe that a direct connection between the both cities will significantly contribute to the growth of tourism between the West Midlands and Czech capital and vice versa."
