isn't BMI the third largest carrier out of Heathrow in terms of slots
bmi is the
second largest slot holder at LHR, by a long way, holding more than 1 in 10 slots at the airport. Virgin is 6th largest:
Out of 468,120 (in 2005):
1st BA 192,378
2nd BD 54,500
3rd LH 20,978
4th EI 14,841
5th SK 14,049
6th VS 12,571
So VS & BD combined would hold nearly 15% of all heathrow slots, over 180 a day.
