I'm sorry to say that Peter Simpson, Managing Director of BMI has confirmed that BMIBaby will close on the 10th Sept 2012 as previously intimated.
There is still a tiny glimmer in that - "even at this very late stage, if a new and credible offer was received to acquire the bmibaby business, either in whole or part, IAG would readily enter discussions. " - but I would think such a buyer would already have shown themselves.
I very much hope all concerned can find new jobs as soon as possible.
