DLH and its star alliance partners are not about to walk away from LHR.
What Star Partners think is irrelevant. They're not the ones with bmi bleeding red ink over its balance sheet.
DLH have said their thinking towards LHR had changed. Even if they ploughed in millions to turn around bmi it will still be No 2 behind BA by a considerable margin and bmi is unlikely to cover its cost of capital. DLH are interested in hubs where they are Number 1 (FRA, MUC, ZRH etc).
