bmi A321
Does anyone know why bmi A321s are still in the older hybrid colours? All the A320s (and of course newer delivered A319s) are in new c/s. I would have thought that by now (4 years after the change) there would have been a few in the new scheme.

Probably because the leases on the A321`s are coming to an end soon so its not worth the cost of a repaint at this stage

Quite sure they are leaving the fleet when the lease is up, anyone know where they are off to?

Replacing A321s with A319s.

Would this be the airline which is always complaining about restrictions on their capacity at Heathrow ?
