The above diverted to BRS this evening even though others waited in the hold for the weather to clear up. To add insult to injury the aircraft operating has taken off from BRS and flown straight past SOU presumably empty and on route back to MUC. Anyone know why it didn't hold like the others? Also why did it not fly back to SOU to at least operate the return leg? Surely its not just to keep the customers happy but also to save the refunds/compo?
That said there can be operational reasons not obvious to the passenger and/or spotter, had that flight today routed BRS/SOU/MUC then the additional sector would have reduced the crew's allowable duty time by 45 minutes whilst delaying subsequent flights of the day by perhaps a further hour, did the crew's duty day have 1 hour 45 minutes, on top of the delay already incurred by diverting to BRS, to play with and what would the later implications of any night curfews or similar have been?
And perhaps they diverted to BRS because of a crew duty hours problem and/or they weren't carrying enough fuel to continue holding indefinitely.

bmi regional will fly from Saarbrücken to Munich 11x weekly starting with the winter schedule. Obviously they get marketing support of 1,500,000 € of the state government of Saarland.

Harry Wayfarers: As far as I know it does not operate a rotation after arriving back at MUC. Your point about the crew duty time is a good one and might be the answer. Thanks for the insight.

The morning SOU-MUC flight dissapered from the arrivals board this morning. Not operating again? Expected better from a more business focused airline like BMI. Seems to be a handful of flights cancelled every week.

There is currently no Thursday early morning BRS-FRA-BRS rotation, which really is a bit of a loss if you're trying to get out to Europe or the USA. It appears to be because the Wednesday BRS-MXP-BRS rotation now overnights and MXP-BRS is on Thursday morning.

bmi regional and Loganair are going to collaborate on providing MME-NWI-ABZ connectivity.
Loganair will operate MME-NWI feeding passengers into NWI-ABZ. Unless Loganair is going to start operating NWI-ABZ as well?
Loganair will revive north-east flight from Norwich Airport in move to appeal to energy industry - Latest Norfolk and Suffolk Business News - Eastern Daily Press

Loganair will be basing a Saab 340 at MME operating to ABZ and NWI, so the NWI-ABZ link will be via MME. No direct bmiR involvement, although codeshare opportunities ex ABZ

New route for bmi regional starting end of October:
bmi regional will fly from Rostock-Laage (RLG) to Stuttgart (STR) 6x per week (excl. Saturday).
After the new route Saarbrücken (SCN) to Munich (MUC) which starts also in October with 11x flights per week, already the second announcement of domestic flights in Germany.

Although their old route map was a mess, it's a shame you can't really work out what direct routes they fly using the new one. This is a particular shame for an airline like BMI that operates a network of niche routes that seem to change on a weekly basis!

Drama queen much 01475? Over the past 18 months they've added BHX-GOT/GRZ/NUE, MUC-SCN, NCL-SVG, LDYSTN and now RLG-STR. MUC-RTM/BRN have gone. Hardly "changing on a weekly basis"
