....could keep the BMI brand.....
Sounds like a recipe for confusion imo. Why keep a potentially damaged brand that many pax will presume no longer exists after the IAG takeover?
I'm sure it's better that the Granite deal goes through, but there must still be questions over what they plan to do with bmir. When they first got involved there were claims in the press of "Scottish" branding and expansion in cooperation with other unnamed N European airlines. Now we're hearing that they want to call themselves bmi!
What are they going to do at the end of the summer when they no longer have to do any flying for mainline? What about the flights for SN and others? It would seem that at the end of the summer season they're going to have a lot of aircraft with nothing to do. I wonder if under Granite, instead of expansion we could see the airline shrink dramatically to a handful of routes out of ABZ subsidised by the oil industry?
