BMI Baby
Initial reports are a cutting of 5 aircraft from fleet for 2010 and a focus on "core profitable operations". I can't help but think BHX will see a big reduction in flights and that the 'super base' and new routes were announced at EMA ahead of this meeting in preparation for todays official announcements. One poster has quoted just 2 based a/c for BHX next summer so perhaps 5 or so routes perhaps with some W Flights using EMA based a/c - trouble is which ones?? Baby face competition on nearly all from BHX!!! At least the base has not been announced as closed as strongly rumoured. Overall though seems like Baby has put most of its eggs in the EMA basket and BHX will now not play a big part in its future plans.
Good luck to those currently at BHX with Baby as it seems they will bear the brunt of the job losses announced today
