BMI to South Africa from LGW???
Recently read in A newspaper in Sth Africa (Cape Argos) that BMI is in talks with BMI to operate flights from LGW to Sth Africa. No mention was given as to how many flights per week, but the reason was that S.A.A. wanted more slots out of LHR but can't get them for the times that they want. To operate out of LGW would cost them too much to operate out of both London airports!
Now we all know that BMI can't fly to the U.S.A. and that they where looking at the far east, but this now looks unlikely with other carriers canx flights. So could it be that BMI are off to Sth Africa?? They already have a good relationship, as they are both code share partners and S.A.A. have leased two A-330's and are apparently very happy with them.
Anyone heard anything?
