bmibaby - the rumours
Well, it seems that for all of us at bmi and bmibaby, we have to have yet another week of suspense, regarding all the rumours, working out which ones are true and which ones are fake.
At the moment, I've heard a number, both through airline and non-airline sources, regarding some of the "things" that might be going on at bmibaby.
1. New Fleet.
Rumour has it bmi/bmibaby is placing a large Airbus short-haul family order.
I've heard A318 (Fokker replacement) A319 (new type) A320 A321 (adding to existing examples)
2. bmibaby being sold
Rumour has it bmi is looking at selling its low-cost subsidiary bmibaby to either another Star Alliance partner, or merging it with another airline. (Lufthansa's German Wings mentioned)
3. bmibaby new hub
Hub either to be Bournemouth (logical as EMA/BOH owned by Manchester Airport Group and buzz's withdrawl), Teeside (?), Belfast (?) or a Scottish hub.
Any ideas?
