That's RIGHT. Move 'em back to EMA where they belong. And while we're at it, get QF (Queensland and Northern Territorial Aerial Services) to retrench to Brisbane and Darwin

:rolleyes:

4077 is made up of bmi, baby and regional. IIRC there are about 200-250 regional employees.

I'm not sure what the total number of bmi regional employees is, but there are about 170 pilots, I'm guessing about 150 cabin crew. There are also office staff in Aberdeen and an engineering base there, but many of the other admin and support functions are carried out collectively for the bmi group so it's hard to be exact. My estimate for bmi regional staff would be around 500 but I could be out by about 100 either way...

Insufficient...

Western Isle jets axed
 

A six-day air service to the Western Isles is to be scrapped because not enough people are using it.
Bmi regional provides the only jet- engined aircraft on a route linking Stornoway with Edinburgh.
It said the service, launched less than four years ago, was not economically viable and would stop on 29 July.
Fewer than 17,000 people-a-year are believed to have been using the service, which is served by a 50-seat jet aircraft.
In a statement, bmi regional said: "Despite offering very low fares, insufficient passenger volumes combined with increasing fuel costs means that this route is no longer viable.

Small point but a 50 seat aircraft 6 days per week is only 15700 seats ish per year, so less that 17000 seems like a great load factor!

31400 actually.........

Whch is a pretty duff loadfactor and we don't even know if fares covered even marginal operating costs.

Cheaper for me to fly to New York tommorrow than to visit my mum in the Western Isles .. no such thing as a cheap flight form LHR to SYY unless you book light years in advance !!!.. however the competition with BA/Loganair made it marginally cheaper than normal. Sad to see you go BMI

bmi next routes?
 

where will bmi fly next?

moscow already announced from LHR

They have said Damman maybe on the horizions

What about Columbo/Goa?

6 flights per week= 6 return journeys =12 flights so you need to double up on the seats available.

WHY IS BMI NOT REVEALING THEIR PAX NUMBERS???
 

Can anyone tell me why bmi is not showing their pax figures for April in the latest release from airlines of europe! go to www.aea.be are bmi too embarassed to show them??????

Correct & right!
