I cant see bmi buying new planes or used airframes at the moment. Not with the current news that has been told to bmi staff.
bmi has to weather the storm or wait for SMB to sell it to cash rich buyer. Which seems to be LH at the moment. Or he may not sell and take his train set down a very rock road. In which lots of money and business traffic and new cash streams seem to be key.
Lets say this, if SAS sell's out to LH.
Then will LH take on the 20% share in bmi.
Time will tell.
