bmibaby will not expand into Scandinavia or Germany at least until December, when the ECA finishes. Basically what this agreement means, was when half of the then British Midland was bought by SAS & Lufthansa, BM would cancel their services to that region unless LH or SK wanted them to operate it, and the three airlines would pool the losses/profits from the UK to Germany/Scandinavia market. Whilst there is definitely a market for flights from EMA to major German cities, Lufthansa will have any veto over these routes being launched, and slot availability is obviously a key factor. I've heard Aberdeen twice daily is a real possibility, plus more Med destinations.
