MyTravelLite is a former scheduled low-fare airline founded in 2002 by parent company MyTravel Airways, part of MyTravel Group PLC. The airline's aim was to bring low-cost flights to the Midlands region at its main base, Birmingham International Airport. The airline started flights to Alicante, Beauvais, Belfast, Geneva and Málaga using two aircraft. MyTravelLite became an important airline to Birmingham International Airport and helped the airport increase its passenger figures.[citation needed] The airline then increased its route network, adding Almería, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Faro, Gran Canaria, Ibiza, Knock, Lanzarote, Mahon, Murcia, Palma de Mallorca, Paris, Pisa, Rimini and Tenerife. In October 2005, MyTravelLite ended operations and was reintegrated into its parent airline MyTravel Airways. On 30 March 2008, MyTravel Airways was itself fully integrated into Thomas Cook Airlines.
