British Airways will introduce it's code on bmi flights to nice important business and industry destinations later this week.
The bmi flights included in the codeshare are: Yerevan (Armenia); Baku (Azerbaijan); Addis Ababa (Ethiopia); Tbilisi (Georgia); Almaty (Kazakhstan); Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan); Beirut (Lebanon); Freetown (Sierra Leone) and Khartoum (Sudan).
Executive Club members travelling on codeshare routes with a BA flight code will be able to earn Avios and Tier Points from April 5, 2012. Customers will be able to book these flights through both ba.com and flybmi.com.
The move follows the European Commission's decision last week to give the go-ahead for IAG's purchase of bmi.
When the sale of bmi completes, which is expected around April 20, bmi will lose the commercial support of Lufthansa and Star Alliance.
