Hi All,
My Dad has just had a friend on the line telling him that Bmi have been flying across the atlantic with 16 people on board!
It is apparantly like the Gulf War where BA were carrying 3 people on 747s!!!!!!!
Also they have given SAS one of them! SAS are looking to buy all of them!
This is bad news.. I love their colours
All the best

RE: BMI Filling the plane?? I think not!
Indeed, empty planes are not exclusive to BMI, they simply happen every now and than.
Some airlines cancell the flight or opt for a smaller plane.
back in 1996, in the first week of january I flew the sector Atlanta-Dallas in a Delta Tristar.
It appeared that there were only 12 passengers.
We were quickly put into first and most of the cabin crew disembarked, leaving us with 2 cabin attendants.
I think nobody complained about that flight coach service.
When I asked a cabin attendant why they did not opt for a smaller plane she replied that they needed the Tristar in DFW for tomorrows full schedule.

The whole worlds aviation seat factor is coming down. Northwest is going to fire 500 staff. Northwest’s many jets have not been flying and flight being cancelled due to less passengers. Maybe Bmi is facing same problem for trasatlantic flights ot maybe domestic to.

The majority of flights have been operating with loads of 70%+, however, now and again a flight goes out with a poor load.
