Got a call from bmi today re Sunday's inaugural to LHR. Flight is being moved to 9.25am departure, from 8.40 (or so). Not sure if this is the case with all flights, or just the inaugural; inbound connections would certainly benefit from a slightly later departure from LHR.
Inaugural flight will be operated by A319, not Embraer 145, although future Saturday evening/Sunday morning services will be operated by 145s.
I see Sen. Ben Shenton is moaning about the subsidy, arguing that even though we're not in the EU, we should bear in mind EU law. (We did and it didn't help); pity even some politicians seem not to see the whole picture as far as getting air routes for JER is concerned.
