As I understand it BMI Regional and Baby are profitable or nearly so. Could these two be used as a feeder service for IAG long haul routes from LHR, LGW and MAD and close down BMI Mainline which is the huge loss making part and use its LHR slots to expand the IAG long haul route network.
bmi Regional is not part of the IAG deal
AFAIK? Already stated as being sold separately.
bmi Baby? Not sure if it is part of the IAG deal:
for the sale of British Midland Ltd (BMI) to IAG.
is bmi Bbay part of BMI Ltd?
close down BMI Mainline which is the huge loss making part and use its LHR slots to expand the IAG long haul route network.
The 2nd part is the stated aim. The transition I would doubt means the 1st part...
All employees, ... fleet, and ... route network will be transferred with the business.
has been stated elsewhere.
