think the point being made by Charlie Fish is that BA self handle & could be expected to move the current BMI operation into T5 eventually although they do have handling operations in T3 which could be a possibility for some of the European operations. BMI only moved to Menzies at the beginning of 2011 when the Aviance operation shut down.
A parallel case was Iberia in T3 which had been handled in T3 by Aviance/Plane Handling but moved to BA Handling at the beginning of 2011.
I suspect BA would be unwilling to allow a third party to handle its operation at LHR especially considering the transfer traffic involved so it would seem certain that the handling would move to BA if the sale of BMI goes through but there will be TUPE involved as many of the Aviance staff went to Menzies with the BMI handling contract.
Time scale might be interesting though with maybe Menzies retaining the BMI handling in T1 until it moves to T5 or it's T1 slots are used by BA for new flights ex T5??
Huyin ,have you seen the speed that BA Staff work at??
, if anything BA , should or must be looking at a third party handler !!!!
