Hi
bmi MME-LHR route is now operated by 3 times daily Weekdays. Flights flights are operated by the LHR based Embrear 145 While the over nighting Flight is operated by the Airbus A319’s
Most weekend flights on the MME-LHR route are operated by Embrears as well. Currently bmibaby have two base aircraft at MME. 1 X B737-300 and a B737-500.

bmi have served the route since 1969, making it the longest served from LHR.
The DC-9 was the mainstay of the route for many years. The DC-9s were replaced by Fokker 100s in 1996, and Boeing 737-500s also became a familiar sight on the route. The 737s were transferred to bmibaby a couple of years ago, and the Fokker 100s were recently retired from the fleet, leaving a mix of Airbus A319 / A320s to operate the route.
bmi also have a business class lounge at the airport.
Aviance check in bmi’s passengers.
Got that from A.Net. 🙂
