Bmi MAN-YYZ
Bmi are soon to announce a new service commencing for the summer season from MAN-YYZ on its A332. Also for the Winter 2004-2005 a carribean destination is planned but no details as yet. Can anyone shed any info on this one. This info so far has came from a reliable source within bmi. Watch this space

Seems strange that BMI would compete with their *Star Alliance* partner, Air Canada, on a mothers-and-daughters route. But as we all know, airline management seems to attract the 40 watters. Unless...... Air Canada is to vacate the route. I can see this happening and sooner rather than later.

BMI Carribean destination
This would be Antigua. Talks have been going on with the Antiguan authorities since last March but BMI take an age to made a decision.
Might get a bit busy from MAN as I hear there's going to be a 747 charter flight direct from MAN to ANU as well next winter, and BWIA are getting their 340-300 for a MAN flight s well.

AC's Manchester - Toronto service has been run on a seasonal (ie, Spring-Summer only) basis for a couple of years now, so maybe jiml1126 is right.
It would certainly make sense, given that both airlines are Star Alliance partners and BM don't appear to have much chance of starting long-haul flights out of Heathrow for the forseeable future.

Hi,
I would love bmi to launch the YYZ route ( even seasonally) as I would not have to schlep from EDI to LHR.
Plus a double bonus ( Virgin Atlantic miles and tier points on bmi!!
Which I currently cannot earn on BA ( 25% disc econ milage of BA miles) or AC.
Plus I love Toronto,Niagara Falls and would want to visit Quebec city and Montreal
Regards
TBS

Wonder if GLA-YYZ will be next as part of BMI / AC Star deal ?
Two out of the three are already operating the Chicago and Washington runs out of Ringway.
If BMI use the third A330 on a Manchester - Toronto run, then there won't be a suitable aircraft available to operate Glasgow - Toronto.

Kestral 1, check out the cabin crew forum (bmi longhaul (man) recruiting). I put all the info on there for the recruiting process. They are recruiting now so tell your girlfriend to get her application in. Hope you find what your looking for, if you need to know any thing else just ask, I'd be glad to help.

bmi/AC deal on swapping carrier on MAN-YYZ has something to do with AC bringing back 767s on Vancouver-Nagoya, Toronto-Rome, Double daily 767 on Vancouver-Osaka.

BKK!!!
Codeshare with Thai perhaps?
Is it BMI's plan to attempt to operate all the Star Allince long haul routes out of MAN.
The next surprise will be that they need to order more aircraft!!!
(Shame YYZ is not going year round.)

Hi,
When will we be able to book MAN-YYZ ?
Great news to head to Canada and earn VS miles without going through the US.
( and the bmi business service is supposed to be very good)

The route is confirmed and taking over from AC with an all economy cabin <albeit an optional upgrade to the New Economy>but no business class,so no chefs are being recruted.The aircraft has already been re-configured.

Chefs are being recruited at the moment - 3 of them are on their initial courses.

Fingers crossed this actually happens!
