BMI Baby ?
Have just been told there is a strong rumour going around today that Baby are about to go bust or wind down the operation altogether because it's not making any money any more. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? I know they have reduced the fleet size this winter and with the Ryans and Orange mob now taking on Brum I guess things were always going to be tough.

Baby have recently conducted a review of their services to decide the future. Is it leisure the way Jet 2 have/are moving away from city destinations or?
Tey won't go "bust" Any accountant can tell you why but they could be sold off or acquire someone to make economies of scale.
The new Bmi/Bmed is one thing and as the parent group will go in this direction the demands of baby detract from the new goal.
Good management at Baby. Will they re-integrate into regional...
Wait for the news......if there is any

As far that the reduction of the fleet goes...this was due to a number of 500's leases comes to an end and the lending company wanted the same price as for -300's so Baby didnt renew with them. Since then Baby have found -300's to replace those aircraft so they havent downsized the fleet for any other reason like going bust. As for ticket sales they have recently had RECORD bookings mounting way higher than ever before added to that new routes which are doing very well etc etc etc.
With the EZY and Ryanair moving into birmingham, The only thing EZY are doing is flying into BHX from GVA and thats it and out of all the routes ryanair will be doing out of birmingham only 2 or 3 collide with baby's out of the 25 routes they have.
So going bust....i doubt VERY much.

bmi only operates check in at LHR MAN GLA EDI all ramp handling is Aviance
Baby operates checkin only at EMA with menzies doing ramp
at bhx & cwl baby is totaly handled by aviance
At all UK stations aviance is contracted to handle bmi group operations.
The aviance contract is shortly due for renewal/tender.

Utter Rubbish
Strange that this rumour has just come out when the board have just given a presentation to confirm their commitment to baby.
Expected growth to 40 a/c in the future

I have to say there is major contradiction to those that created this post than from the main players at BmiBaby.
If BmiBaby were going bust then would they announce new routes as of the end of last week?
Would they have sent the following statement regarding basing more a/c and being commited to their CWL base?
Those that know what this meeting is at BMI but keeping it close to their chest will probably know the truth, and judging to one of their statement it must be spectacular as he wondered how they pulled this one off.
Hopefully this announcement will not just improve Bmi and Baby but increase their a/c too.

bmibaby managing director Crawford Rix said: ‘We have competitors – Mike’s copying my network! There is a great future at Cardiff for us. We don’t all have to fly the same routes. There are plenty of opportunities out of Cardiff for us all. bmibaby is at Cardiff to stay and we are looking to add aircraft in the near future.’
Hopefully this announcement will not just improve Bmi and Baby but increase their a/c too.
