BMA flew from EMA to LHR up to 5 times a day into the early 90's, the first outbound callsign being BMA221 from EMA. I remember them using a leased Busy Bee F27 for at least a year, followed by their own ATP's and even (City flyer ??) Dash 7's. The service was rumoured to be "slot sitting" at LHR, waiting for a more profitable opportunity for BMA to use the slots. It always appeared to be very popular with BMA staff, and also BA long haul crews. i can't remember when they gave up the route, but I guess 92 or 93?? Someone will chip in with more information soon.
