Flights from Heathrow to Brussels, Tel Aviv, Kiev and Aleppo will be suspended in early 2010 with services from Heathrow to Amsterdam being suspended at the end of the winter 2009/10 period. We will however still continue to offer services from London to Brussels through our codeshare agreement with Brussels Airlines. In addition to these route suspensions the seasonal services from Heathrow to Palma and Venice will not be reinstated in summer 2010. This will mean in 2010 a total of nine mainline aircraft are surplus to requirements compared to 2009. This includes two of the five Embraers operating on mainline routes that will be returned to bmi regional. Leases will not be extended on aircraft when they expire in the first half of 2010, including two of the three long haul Airbus A330 aircraft. We will therefore continue to serve mid haul markets with two long-range aircraft and our fleet of A321s.
From a friend at Heathrow........79 Captains, 50 F/O's and 69 Flight Sups to go. 600 jobs to go in total
