I noticed G-MIDE is now G-OZBL at Monarch. Any idea how many more will follow?

Cheers,
eP :ok:

G-MIDM has been leased to ArkeFly from Jun - Oct 06, I presume this will be related to the deal in which bmi are leasing two ArkeFly Boeing 767-300ERs?

IIRC it was one of the first to go.

ib,
what do you mean a scarey take off!,MIDC is owned by SMB and will be around a bit longer,rumour has it they are looking for more 321's

rgds K.I.L.

Looking for more?! Hell! They can't get rid of them fast enough by all accounts!

LHR -Dub its still A321's as of few days ago, and as always they are full to capacity.

BMI at BHD
 

From the stats on the Caa site, it would seem that the monthly pax numbers on the Bhd to Lhr route just keep on falling. We now have the Belfast Telegraph newspaper running a high profile campaign about the way civil servants in the province are spending tax-payers money. They highlighted that they spend £60k per month flying business class on this route, the main reason that BD apparently kept business class on the Bhd route. If that spend is ended, makes it harder for BD. What are the chances that they will take the route back to Bfs and hand it over to Bmibaby, giving them great critical mass at Bfs?

Any views?

I don't think that you'll see baby operating into LHR !
Well, not yet, anyhow.

won't see baby at lhr eh.

Thats what they said about bmi reg.

Now the embryo is there all the time

bmi cease operations at MME
 

The 2 aircraft to go to BHX.

Thats it.

Where is MME ?!

teeside

rgds
K.I.L.

Teesside.

(Typing something like "three letter code MME" into Google would get you an immediate answer rather more efficiently, you know... :rolleyes: )

Back to the original subject. First, is this unconfirmed rumour or something resembling fact? Second, if two aircraft are going to BHX, is there going to be a corresponding increase in routes/frequencies there?

EGNV - What used to be Teesside now known as Durham Tees Valley! :rolleyes:

It's True, baby operation to cease at Teeside, but no confirmation of where the 2 aircraft will go

Ah, so it's bmibaby to cease operations at MME, not bmi as per the thread title...?

Guys,

Sorry to hear about your base closure.
I hope the new was broken to you a bit more gently than the email I just received entitled "Strike threat lifted / MME".

Come on management, have a little bit more tact, will you ?!

This is always a good site for these and similar questions.
