BMIR desperately need to arrange some interline agreements with various major airlines. They are ( as anothertyke has said) scratching around trying to find profitable point to point routes from the regions and the fact is, there are very few left that are underserved . Take the forthcoming service from BHX-LYS , a very sensible choice , but then FlyBe also see the potential of that route and with their tie in with AF and onward connections available to southern europe has had such an effect on BMIR that they are cutting the frequency before it had started.
