I think that everyone seems to be argueing either for or against bmi's decision. Well I am going to sit on the fence!! The facts are that bmi were getting charged something like £9 per passenger at BFS, yet Go and EZY were getting charged £3. Fair comment that bmi probably had an airbridge etc but for every A321 load (195 x £9) = £1755. If Go had an A321 they would be charged £585 per load. Today's airline industry is cut throat and I think that bmi were right to feel agrieved by this. However, as much as a move to BHD will hurt BFS, I just wonder if it will hurt bmi more?? Airlines such as Go and EZY are excellent for your average passenger as BA and bmi's fares sometimes border on ridiculous, but surely everyone should be playing on a level playing field.
