Does anyone know which aircraft are owned by bmi and which are leased and if so from which lessor? The aircraft registrations would be helpful. Cheers in advance…

The original question was:
Does anyone know which aircraft are owned by bmi and which are leased and if so from which lessor? The aircraft registrations would be helpful.
The answer given included two Fokker 100 aircraft (GBXWE & WF formerly PHCFE & FF) which are no longer part of the fleet: both having been sold; one having already been delivered to the new owners and the other in the process of delivery. The Fokker 100 at EMA is not revenue earning and thus is not considered part of the operating fleet. Its availability is not displayed on the tote in the company operations room. It is not listed on the daily “Aircraft Status” message.
Should you still consider the remaining non rev. aircraft part of the bmi inventory then I am forced to inquire why you omitted from your list the Baron and Sia Marchetti, both of which are owned by bmi and whose availability is shown in the ops’ room.

I think your the one trying to be clever, his point was valid.
EDIT – Just reread your post, now understand what you meant, sorry 🙂

Well, there I was trying to be helpful and low-and-behold some dickhead tries to be clever. Whether the Fokker at EMA is still on bmi’s books or not is a debatable point – the question asked was who bmi’s aircraft were leased from and until the handback is complete I’m inclined to list it as such.

One of the Fokkers is at EMA right now,
Where either of the last two Fokkers to be operated by bmi is currently parked is irrelevant. The Fokker 100 no longer operates revenue flights on the bmi network. The aircraft at EMA is awaiting painting prior to delivery to its new owners in Indonesia.
so there!
as you so politely put it.

Well the list was there, but now its gone. Too bad if the person who originally asked the question didn’t see the answer.

No Britannia, there was nothing there except the return of A321 aircraft to “the lessor”…

I really don’t know but it’s just a guess.
Own: B737, E135, E145, A319, A320, A321, A330.
Leased: 757 from Icelanair.
I’m sure some other people will be able to give more info on this.
