Bmi have always had a fortress approach to EMA, and it is not just pprune terminology. Some things I remember:
- When WX launched DUB EMA, BD switched from S340s to Fokker 70s
- When Go announced their base in EMA, BD launched baby days later.
There a no mistake omissions from anything that LH does - remember what bases were mentioned at the last annual report?
Our german friends are very logical. In my humble opinion - the days of two bmi retail brands is nearing an end - the sevice levels are virtually the same, so why two marketing budgets - especially since they are often flying from the same airports.
