Considering BA already have their flight numbers for marketing use on the old BMED flights. BA still has an interest in these routes because they take a certain amount of money off these flights with pax still booking via ba.com.
LH is not going to split up their latest toy. They want to make it work for them and give BA a run for its money and the other OneWorld members. And why would LH sell the part of bmi that is making money??? LH what bmi to be profitable.
I still note that after all the hype about BA coming back to the RUH and JED route I don’t see any flights yet.
