It will be just the like bmi takeover at LHR…they’ll rape the carrier for all its worth !

A little strong surely. As I understand it they paid good money for an airline that was on the verge of bankruptcy, merged most of the fleet, any worthwhile routes and as many staff as was possible. None of us like to see an airline disappear but if anyone ‘raped’ bmi it was surely Lufthansa.

Back on subject: Don’t think the Hop name will work in France and think the livery is non-descript.
