What warning is that? I've just tried to book for July and got taken to payment page no problem. Now and then one of those 'choose every picture with a cat' things pops up but they've been there for ages.

Seems to be 50/50 at the mo, no-one is sure what's happening.

I does sound an odd way to cease operations, especially as it's owned by AIL - why not just move the assets over to Loganair and then liquidate the shell?

Scodaman. Try booking any time in the next ten days.

Good luck to all the cabin crew and engineers and pilots on securing new employment. Hopefully they get something soon.

Well that escalated quickly. My thoughts are with all those affected, I knew a few employees and spent a bit of time with them at LDY. Hopefully they will have a bright future.

So if BM and LM are owned by AIL. Is LM affected?

BBC News saying over it. Sad news.

Loganair is a separate legal entity so unless they put that into its own administration, it wouldn't be directly affected by BMI.

Sad news but I guess they must be breaking out in cold sweats in Exeter tonight.

Especially if people keep confusing flybmi with flybe, as many seem to be doing! :eek:

Sad news indeed, my thoughts are with the people whom lost their jobs from this.

On the other hand, Loganair may get what is left of the remaining Embraer fleet!
(Depending on how many air-frames have to be sold to clear any outstanding debt I suppose.)

Sad day indeed. Thoughts and condolences with all British Midland Regional employees.

The conclusion of the British Midland story.

I wonder why they [Loganair] couldn't have offered to save it [flybmi] by arranging some sort of pre-pack administration?

So which airports are affected most by the airlines collapse?

davidjohnson6

16th Feb 2019 20:59

I would suggest that oddly enough, it's some of the minor airports in continental Europe which might see the biggest *relative* effect. Places like Esbjerg, Rostock and Norrkoping have now lost a large proportion (or even all) of their winter scheduled traffic

All times are GMT. The time now is 03:24.
