Im thinking they will send 2 of them to MAN 3 to LHR, makes sense as these could be where there new long haul routes will start from.

Nah, they’ll all go to London. bmi have wanted to take advantage of open skies from Heathrow ever since the ‘bish came on the scene ie a LONG time.

5 (or 8 depending on whether they decide to keep MAN open at all) A330s still aren’t going to go very far though IMHO.

I think we’ll see them giving Virgin a run for their money rather than BA.

However, as we know, bmi doesnt have the most clued up managers. It will be very interesting to see the press releases in the morning and look for hints of new destinations.
