BA: ABZ – London flights

BA’s loss bmi’s gain????

Well yes. But elsewhere I’m sure BA will be picking up pax from cancelled bmi flights. And VS will be picking up BA pax, and bmi VS pax and so on…

BA’s loss bmi’s gain????

(Unless bmi go on strike, as seems possible!! :rolleyes: )

How come BMI are still managing to operate all there flights to ABZ

It is up to each airline which 20% of their operation they cancel. Presumably they chose to cancel other routes.

COME ON BA SORT IT OUT.
4/7 LHR flights canx today, & we only yesterday started receiving LGW services again.
The “tighter security” reason is starting to look like a lame excuse.
Not the first time down the years BA has singled out ABZ for major disruption, we always seem first in line for delays & canx.
Shows BA’s “commitment” to ABZ…NOT! 😡

ABZ had all the LGW flights today, and they were all ontime. As for LHR, you said that 4 out of the 7 flights were cancelled.
It is slowly but surely getting back to normal, as tomorrow, only BA1305 to LHR is cancelled and the 6 other flights are so far estimated to be operating to schedule. By Friday 18th August, all 7 departures to LHR are scheduled to be running.
How come BMI are still managing to operate all there flights to ABZ, is that because they run a much smaller operation from LHR than BA?

How long is a piece of string?

It really depends on whether the increased security stays in place, and how well the BAA cope with it. As long as they need a 20% reduction in the operation I imagine domestics will always be prone to cancellation.

The problem is that the BAA have instructed all airlines operating at LHR to reduce their operations by 20% (it was 30% initially), and to a lesser extent at LGW, while they struggle to cope with the new security restrictions.

As passengers on domestic routes have the option of using surface transport they are a prime candidate for cancellation. All of the domestic routes have been affected. No-one has singled out ABZ. Once the BAA gets its act together, or the restrictions are lifted then I’m sure things will start to get back to normal.
