Can someone clarify the relationship and history between B Med and BA? is it a subsid. or a franchise, did BA establish it, etc?? Sympathies to the staff - talk about crap layovers...

BMED is a franchaisse (not sure about the spelling). It predominently operates to the former soviet routes Tibilisi, Bakku plus Beirut and Syria. It's major owner was Lord Hesketh rather large and was at one time very much into the motor cycle racing sponsorship. It operates A320 and may now have a couple of A321. Perhaps someone can confirm if it operates under its own Airline Operators Comittee.

Good effort for the day after Christmas!

Just a couple of corrections - it's franchise

The Azeri capital is Baku

AOC stands for Air Operators Certificate

Otherwise you were pretty much bang on.........

Hope you have a safe new year.
