Go's response to bmi - 10 January
Bmi's announcement to set up a low cost airline shows an airline in disarray. They can't decide whether to be full service or no frills which is a recipe for commercial disaster. This tactic was tried many times in the US and failed every time. It's a sign of a panic-stricken management that knows it's been ripping people off for years. Not surprising when they've been charging people fares like £900 to fly to Nice.
Go's plans for the Midlands remain unchanged. We have a track record of success in bringing low fares to London and Bristol. You can be sure that day-in-day-out Go's prices will not be beaten.
