Budget airline Ryanair has added a fifth plane to its fleet at Birmingham Airport as part of a fresh round of investment in the transport hub.
The Irish operator said it was also launching five new European routes for its upcoming winter schedule as it marks 35 years of doing business with the airport.
Two of the five-strong fleet of aircraft based in Solihull will be the new Boeing 737 8200 ‘Gamechanger' planes which it said delivered more seats, burned less fuel and created lower noise emissions.
