Germanwings adds new route from Manchester

Budget airline Germanwings is adding a new service between Stuttgart and Manchester.

It will fly between the cities every day of the week except Saturday and Wednesday from July.

Germanwings is also adding daily services from Heathrow to Stuttgart.

It said the changes had been made possible by working more closely with its parent Lufthansa.

In a statement the carrier said it was, "improving its offering via a consolidated network that sees Germanwings fly to all Lufthansa European destinations out of Stuttgart as of summer 2012".
