The new easyJet service took off for the first time last week and operates four times a week on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays.
This summer easyJet will also welcome a sixth A320 family aircraft to its fleet at Birmingham Airport, enabling the airline to offer customers even more choice for flights and holidays across Europe and beyond.
Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK country manager, said: “We are delighted to celebrate the launch of our new service from Birmingham to Rome, giving our customers in the Midlands convenient connectivity to Italy’s capital at great value fares.
“Our continued success in the Midlands is a clear testament to the continued popularity of our flights and holidays and the growth of our fleet with an additional aircraft in Birmingham this summer will further unlock the opportunity of the demand that we see for both leisure and business travel.
Kristin Garrett, general counsel of Birmingham Airport commenting, said: “It was great to see the inaugural Rome service leave Birmingham Airport today, adding extra capacity on this Italian route.
“Whilst today we saw lots of rugby fans flying out for the six nations, (and two additional charter flights to support this) the scheduled four times weekly route will undoubtedly be a popular choice for passengers of our region.”
Customers can book a beach holiday or city break with easyJet holidays or by calling 0330 365 5005.
