Re: Bmi

bmibabyfc - you keep mentioning something big or interesting is going to happen at bmi this year. Can you not elaborate and give us some more detail?

Apart from what we already know, e.g. new routes to Jeddah, Doha and Mumbai going daily, I can't see there being any further expansion of longhaul this year. Where are the aircraft coming from to do this? EU - US talks seem to have gone quiet, again even if a positive outcome is found to this, ops will not start until 2007 in reality and again only if suitable aircraft can be found.

Shorthaul is not a growth area due to the loco competition, so I can't see this as the solution.

Don't get me wrong, I'm keen to see bmi progress in the right direction, but at this moment in time struggle to see how!
