The LHR management team is also rumoured to be 'under review'

There is a possibilty the route could be flown by WW, as Valencia has been a rumoured new destination for them, but mainline BD is doubtful, unless operated as a charter, which again is also highly unlikely.

Perhaps they have a plan and are about to announce it because the staff have been told absolutely nothing as yet. As you say, very unlike Lufthansa.

Well, it's nice to see the new management continuing the historic precedent set by previous BD management.

Are bmi basing an aircraft at EMA for S10 operating flights for Goldtrail, Flights are available with goldtrail and give a flight time and number etc... to Corfu, Heraklion, Zante, Rhodes and Kos, will this be a A320 or A321 if true, as bmi will also be operating charters for TCX in July - September 2010 as this year, so will have 2 bmi's as well as Jet2 and Viking operating W patterns??

The deal with BD was done by LH without a full due diligence and LH only got full access to BD's books in July. I doubt they have decided what exactly they are going to do yet.

I think you'll find that the Goldtrail flights program will actually be operated by Viking. A lot of tour operators will publish last years flying program or even fairly spurious information in first edition brochures as often full info for the subsequent summers flights is not available at time of going to press.

The routes on sale by Goldtrail and those to be operated by Viking are identical...so I strongly suspect this answers the question.

Lufthansa axe two BMI directors

Taken from UK-airport news info:

Lufthansa have begun a management shake-up at new subsidiary BMI with the departure of two senior executives, the Times reports. Peter Spencer, managing director of BMI Mainline, the division that includes all flights out of Heathrow, and Martyn Bridger, the division’s commercial director, are leaving.
Weren't these the characters that were responsible for the demise of Maersk/Duo a few years ago? MB was certainly responsible for all the confrontation with BA cabin crew back in the late 90's

Could i just ask, what A/c operates the Charters to SSH from MAN. I thought it would be a A330 but that would take it out for a full day. Then i thought about the A319/20 but will they even make it?

Due to operate on short haul A321s - looks like they're tech stopping either in Cairo or Athens due to limited range.

But i thought a A320 would be able to make it non-stop (it says its has 5000+ KM range) and SSH is around 4,400.

From the top of my head:

MON: A330/A300
TOM/FCA: B767/B757
VIK: B738
TCX/MYT: B757

If you are after comfort then there is only one choice: TOM.

P.S. The A321 can make it to SSH on it's own steam non stop but I would guess there maybe more weight restrictions in certain weather conditions. Also, please note: the A319 has the furthest range of any of the A320 series standard aircraft. It is A319, A320 and finally the A321 - I don't know where the A318 fits in!

SSH is a charter destination only.
