bmi Fleet Repaint?
bmi changed their livery a fair few years ago now. Will the odd few a/c still wearing the interim livery ever get painted into full bmi colours? Surely they've had their heavy maintanence by now?
Also when, if ever, will the ex BMed a/c be painted into full bmi colours? The livery is so smart! It's a shame all the a/c don't have it!

bmi is an airline with no direction so with all that is going on I think the colours are the last thing on their minds.
BUT from a customer point of view ofcourse there is nothing wrong with the A/C but jo bloggs doesn't know that so if he sees a dirty chipped A/C he thinks the worst an may not fly bmi again. He tells his mates not to fly bmi as they have old nakerd planes! We get comments all the time from passengers asking if we are even bmi crew because they don't recognise the scheem!

they'll all get a repaint soon
in BA liveries
most maintenance facilities ive visited dont have the capability to repaint a whole a/c, so even if it has had its base check, a full repaint would have to be scheduled elsewhere

Someone else has said that DY is now painted. Not seen any pics of it yet though. Wonder when DW/DZ will be painted? Let alone the rest. Not being negative but it has been 7 years ago the livery was launched!

G-MIDY has been repainted. So explain that one. So much negativity with midland. Gets tedious!!

The second ship that must have been painted, must have used the paint left over from the first one. (He HE He). Perhaps that makes a hybrid delux? BMI, are a typical "northern" outfit with no idea whtas happening in the real world. Aye, aye, me lad.
