Virgin will not, and could not, go this alone. A tie up with a Middle Eastern outfit would be most likely and not to the liking of AIG or Lufty. So the other option would be for Lufty to keep a share in BMI, or even buy a share of VA. This type of deal was thought to be on the cards a few years ago.
What ever the outcome, i hope it's sorted soon, and wish all at BMI well.
