Shame that UK plc didn't have the political muscle to be able to delay Open Skies. Yet again , it looks like UK companies will be the losers in another EU mandate.I wonder if it would have all gone through if it had been CDG that everyone had wanted to get into? I understand that more and more of BMI's engineering work is going East to be done by Lufthansa Technik. What price UK jobs ?
We're not socialists in the UK - what would political muscle have done other than cause long-term decline to a business that needed a partner.
Long-term future of the airline is sorted, and a solid company is backing a solid business. Brilliant news all around.
