bmi in financial crisis

I would also be devastated to see BD go, Ive work with them for the lat 3 years here at DUB and they have the potential to be a great airline. Hopefully LH wil be able to sort things out.

Having had a couple of very good flights with Bmi Regional in the past few days, I’d just like to thank the cabin crew for their sterling efforts in assisting me with all of my precious equipment and for being so positive, cheerful and friendly in uncertain times.

I too hope they don’t disappear ! 😉

Appologies if I caused any offence… All I meant to suggest was that the inept management at bmi would be looking for further hand-outs from their new owners – Lufthansa – in Germany (and that they’d already done that).

In my view its sad to see a once great airline – British Midland – being driven into the ground by poor strategy and poor leadship from the top. Hopefully Lufthansa’s influence and direction will help get bmi back in the game.

Gosh i’d hate to see BMI disappear. I had a great time on work experience with them 10yrs ago at LHR. Now one the instructors at my flying school flies for them too!

Hopefully they’ll come out of this as BMI still.

Topic chaps, or it gets locked 😉

These stupid comments towards the German are typical British! When it comes to commercial aviation who at the moment has the most financially stable airlines? Why its the Germans, and yet BD/BA/VS are all in trouble!

Ohh quickly old man, call for the English old chap! Dont bother they’ll only push it towards financial ruin!

Where on earth did that come from? I’m absolutely certain that Andy was making the German comment “tongue in cheek”!

Oh, and just incase you weren’t aware, after 3 quarters of the financial year, LH have managed to make a net loss of €28million.

I’ve heard rumour that Flybe are looking at bmi Regional and/or bmi Baby as possible purchases. Anyone else heard this?

It would be a real shame if bmi were to disappear.

They looked at bmi regional sometime ago, though within the last 12 months. Nothing has so far come of it, so we’ll have to wait and see. I think the competition commission would have a field day though as the two overlap on bmi regional’s primary routes from MAN.
