Here's the Diamond Club email I got today if anyone's interested.
I used this service regularly when it was on Scarebuses and it was usually very busy
Dear xxx
We are sorry to let you know that unfortunately we are ending our Heathrow-Leeds Bradford service on 28 March 2009.
The decision to withdraw services between London and the North of England was a tough one, as we've operated these routes since 1969. However a decline in demand, higher-than-inflation cost increases at Heathrow and higher Government Air Passenger Duty (APD) charges have made operating these routes unsustainable.
If you have a booking on one of the affected services, we will, where possible, reaccommodate you on other bmi services.
We will contact you in the next few weeks to discuss your options.
We are also making the following changes to our summer 2009 flying:
- Increasing our Heathrow-Beirut and Amman services to ten per week from 22 May 2009
- Reducing our Heathrow-Addis Ababa service to three per week, now being served over Amman, instead of Damascus from 29 March 2009
- Decreasing the frequency of our Heathrow-Amsterdam service to four per day and Heathrow-Dublin to six per day from 29 March 2009
- Operating our Heathrow-Aberdeen service on all Embraer aircraft from 29 March 2009 and Heathrow-Brussels on all Embraer aircraft from 18 April 2009
- Closing our Heathrow-Durham Tees Valley service on 28 March 2009
We'd like to thank you for your loyalty and support of our Heathrow-Leeds Bradford service and apologise for any inconvenience.
Regards
Keeley Downing Diamond Club Manage
