Be better news if they were bidding to takeover Britain which is even more of a mess than BMI.

YOu mean they were interested in buying all those nice LHR slots that BMI has..doubt anything other than that interested them.
|
Am I missing something? The article talks about Jet Airways..not Emirates!
|
Err...Yeah...It definatley says Jet Airways.
Perhaps it's been che nged in the last few hours???:confused: |
About the second or third paragraph down it mentioned a middle eastern airline widely believed to be Emirates had expressed interest as well.
|
EK would outbid Jet just to prevent them from gaining a key strategic foothold.
Imagine it- flights from a dozen Indian cities to LHR going on to a dozen US and Canadian destinations. It will gut EK's traffic to both the UK and NA. On the other hand, Jet will have to base crews in LHR - now that's a thought! Plus your tax paid in India so no money to the UK taxman:ok: |
