Bye-Bye BMI Baby

May 10, 2012 at 9:18 AM | by | Comments (0)

We all know that bmi ownership has changed hands from Lufthansa to IAG, the parent company to British Aiways and Iberia. When the merger is complete, bmi will be no more, a casualty in the battle that is the European aviation industry. But first, we bid a fond adieu to bmi's low-cost little brother, bmi baby.

With all the necessary signatures put to paper, IAG is starting to figure out the best way to combine operations and surge to airline dominance. The baby painted planes are the first ones to get the axe and it's all happening very quickly.

Summer travel season should suffer most since some routes will cease operation as early as June 9th. The bulk of these destinations are leisure destinations, but it will still lead to upset passengers. Early on in the airline cessation, Belfast takes the biggest hit as it is completely shutting down next month.

The rest of bmi baby operations will close up shop no later than September 10th with customers being either re-booked or offered refunds. bmi main line service will continue to fly until BA finishes the merger, so if part of your summer vacation plans involved bmi, you might still be in luck. For more information, have a look at the full details here.
