Well there's at least one in BRS - just need to pay a bill...…… :O

Surely the ABZ-EBJ fits on the ABZ-NWI aircraft operating for Eastern, just as it did for bmi?

think they only here for a week, should be back to normal for the weekend

Wonder if LOG are planning anything else ex ABZ - there are indeed gaps a-plenty as BAladdy says. Aircraft one occupied on Mon, but Tues-Fri it's free all morning; and a/c two has a very light schedule! However I guess start with the established ex-bmi routes & assess from there.

Something that's been bugging me that I can't get my head around is this. Airline Investments Ltd (AIL) has made a (perfectly valid) commercial decision to allow one of its subsidiaries to enter administration, by failing to give it sufficient funds to continue operating. I haven't read their recent accounts but one assumes that Flybmi now has insufficient assets to meet obligations to creditors.

Another subsidiary of AIL, Loganair, has taken on several of Flybmi's routes. All Flybmi reservations are no longer valid and customers must re-book with Loganair. If there are insufficient assets to give full refunds to those who have already paid for reservations, this raises the prospect of the parent company profiting from allowing Flybmi to enter administration. Even if customers receive a full refund, would it not have been easier for AIL/Loganair and for customers simply to transfer their bookings? For lots of reasons it's certainly difficult to believe that Loganair didn't know this in the pipe-line.

I may be barking up the wrong tree here and I'm not alleging any illegal behaviour, but at the very least it does seem a very odd way to go about managing the process.

Aeromad - if one could claim in the bankruptcy court that Loganair was sonehow a successor company or otherwise legally related to bmir, then creditors of bmir might then be able to sue for the assets of Loganair as well. If AIL want to sacrifice bmir and retain Loganair, then they need to be able to justify to the judge that the 2 airlines are legally unrelated. The judge may well smell a rat anyway over bmir and Loganair, but if nothing can be proven then AIL will get what they want

Haven't seen this posted here but this is the information for BMI crew: https://www.loganair.co.uk/wp-conten...info-pack1.pdf

Five at last count?!

So is that all of flybmi's old UK bases? Looks like they have already got (or are confident of getting) the LDY PSO work, the Airbus contract and the EMA flying (not yet announced?)

One ailing airline with a heavy commitment to European flying which will become more difficult or to any extent is less certain in the new politik.

Another airline with a large commitment to UK flying.

Strategic decision to run one down and place much of the UK flying with another to whom you have recently place Embraer's. Looks ok to me.

Not sure you can use the "run one down" as this doesn't seem to have been the case, on the face of things at least - more like "run them out".

And also the fact that they announced taking over the flybmi aircraft, ABZ routes and set-up a whole new crew base in NCL within 24hrs...

All seems very orchestrated...and terribly convenient.
