It is now also saying, subject to regularoty approval, that bmi will operate codeshare flights with BA from the 28th October this year. Even more options for connecting BA passengers from Belfast!
Not necessarily. It might be rolled out to more flights but this is probably a codeshare in conjuction with the offload of BMed to BMI. Similarly, BA codeshare with Flybe due to the BAConnect offload. This is for a finite period of time to aid the passengers in transitioning from one airline to another. I'd be very suprised to see a codeshare with BMI on more than just the BMed routes.
