What's the likelyhood of getting slots at a German LH hub do you think?

Pretty high when you consider who will be the owner of bmir.

Why should it be? Lufthansa face many of the same pressures on slots at Frankfurt in particular as BA do at Heathrow. BA certainly didn't make a habit of handing out slots to distant subsidiaries like TAT/Air Liberte, Deutsche BA and others to fly into Heathrow. Similarly, Lufthansa will not want to give up slots for small aircraft at peak times.

Watch instead for operations into the secondary hubs - Leeds/Munich 3 x daily Embraer 145, perhaps.

Try ABZ-BHX with the service starting from ABZ on a 145, news on LBA-FRA probably next week.

It seems likely that one ex-LHR aircraft will go into LBA (five in total!)
Assuming LBA-FRA happens and LBA-LHR goes back to an airbus, ERJ's are needed for

EDI
GLA
BRU
FRA
with CPH using one of the aircraft above

So thats only 4 ERJ's? Where does the 5th one come in?

Regional aircraft replacing baby unit!!

I bet that will go down a treat with the business pax, less so with the BHX baby crew getting their P45's

Not really replacing, i think baby only flew the route once a day, regional are doing it 3 times a day

Another story doing the rounds is another ERJ in to EMA doing a BHD twice daily with Warsaw in between, the idea being to get the last minute buss pax that want to be into the city airport, leaving Ryanair with the free tickets spend nothing crowd.

As far as we are aware, the LBA-LHR is still operating on a 145.

I have a flight booked with BMI in August from Heathrow to Manchester and that is on a regional aircraft. If BMI regional were to disappear, would the flight become an A319 or cancelled.

If it was to be cancelled, would it mean BMI would have to put me up in a hotel as it is the last flight of the evening? Thanks.

With the talk of LBA-FRA, is there any chance of an EMA-FRA?
We used to have many routes like FRA, DUS etc. when we had the Fokkers, but then these were cut when LH said they were affecting their BHX loads, but I imagine now under LH control there is no chance of such routes restarting unless BD Regional is sold. Any responses are appreciated.

Any chance that BMIR will come further southwest ?
i know that NQY are looking for new airlines and routes and at the moment, im sure that a new route to Aberdeen and a year round route to Edinburgh would be very well received.

Not sure about BM Regional and NQY, I thought they mainly flew niche business orientated routes, having said that perhaps the ERJ is the right size of a/c for certain routes from NQY and the airline seems to be expanding slowly but surely - but, will punters pay enough to fly to NQY keep that all important yield up and running? (And I don't mean that in a bad way, NQY is a lovely place when the sun shines!)

I know until quite recently it was twice a day, good to see someone else having a go at Flybe instead of the other way round

So, what do you know that 'we' don't?

As far as those of us in Regional have been told:

One aircraft to remain based in LHR crewed from the outstations.

One to remain on the LBA-LHR based LBA.

One to remain in MME.

This leaves the two extras.....

One is now going onto the 'new' ABZ-BHX route which just leaves one more. Apparently we will find out the decision soon.
