lkm - no worries your not the bearer of bad news dont worry! your info is not correct - sorry.
we understand that non of our a/c are leased. infact the last one that was leased has been purchased by bmi (GCCYH) and re-registered under a new name (GRJXR). All our a/c are owned by bmi now. None are returning to any lease companies.
you may have heard that our spare/maintenance aircraft is now being used full time - we arent losing any units.
indeed the new aircraft we are getting are the ex baconnect/flybe planes that are being returned to embraer by march 2009 inline with their fleet conversion.
hope this clarifies any rumours -
regards
FO bmi
