Bmibaby Q&A's
Belfast
Why is everything from Belfast being cancelled?
As a preliminary measure, the planned changes to our Belfast schedule have regrettably been made as a result of commercial and operational challenges. Belfast is in its first full year of operation, and still needs investment, and given the current situation we are unable to maintain the level of investment needed.
Why is Belfast facing all the cuts when other bmibaby routes are still operating?
There are planned cuts across the whole network, but regrettably a review of our operations has resulted in the preliminary measure to cancel services from Belfast.
You’ve only just started these routes from Belfast, why cancel them now?
The planned changes to our Belfast schedule have regrettably been made as a result of commercial and operational challenges. Belfast is in its first full year of operation, and still needs investment, and given the current situation we are unable to maintain the level of investment needed.
Can Belfast-Stansted passengers have the opportunity to transfer onto a bmi flight from Belfast-Heathrow?
Customers will not be transferred onto bmi or any other airline. Where possible we will re-book them on to an alternative bmibaby service or they will receive a refund from us.
Is it just the Belfast routes that are losing money?
As mentioned, the business continues to incur significant losses and we must review future options for our business. Regrettably any preliminary decisions we have made with regards to the network means a cancellation of our Belfast services. If anything changes during the consultation process we will update you.
