If bmi baby could be used to increase traffic flow to LHR, FRA or MUC then it could have a significant role to play. After all, if it cannot directly compliment and feed the Lufthansa/bmi mainline network then why would Lufthansa wish to continue with bmi baby?
I have friends in both Regional and baby and I hope both both parties prosper from this deal. I rate baby highly as a low cost airline and they do deserve to do well so I hope my prognosis does not turn out to be accurate!
