bmi regional

There was often an additional flight to/from MXP on Mondays and Fridays as well as the regular scheduled rotation.

I understood the additional flight to be for AugustaWestland.

About a decade ago the OLT operation for Airbus from Filton to Bremen and Hamburg was switched from FZO to BRS in order to attract the general public onto the flights as a means of defraying the cost of the flights.

I wonder if similar thinking has resulted in the Monday and Friday-only rotations to MXP. At least it's better than no flight at all as seemed likely at one time.

bmi regional seems to have further increased its BRS offering from the end of March with MUC increased to double daily Mon to Fri together with the already announced new single daily daily Sat rotation and the single Sun rotation that's operated since the route began.

Currently next summer will see the following programme from the end of March (some from Feb):

ABZ 3 x daily - fewer at weekends
FRA 3 x daily - fewer at weekends
MUC 2 x daily - fewer at weekends
HAM 2 x daily - fewer at weekends
MXP Mon and Fri
