Quoting Gilesdavies (Thread starter): Is one of the reasons why BMI can successfully operate out of LHR to destinations like DUB, INV, ABZ, GLA, EDI, BHD, MME and MAN is as purely a feeder service for other Star Alliance members out of LHR to onwards destinations? |
Quoting Sam1987 (Reply 5): That said, LHR to/from BHD, LBA, INV and MME are routes that are only operated by BD, so probably carry a lot of O&D pax as well. |
Quoting StarGoldLHR (Reply 9): when SMB retires |
Quoting Gilesdavies (Thread starter): Is BMI a bitch for Star Alliance? |
Quoting Rwylie77 (Reply 1): Interesting thought, but I'm not sure bmi know themselves what they are! |
Quoting UAL777UK (Reply 4): IMHO, they are more a feeder for the Star boys at LHR than O & D. |

Quoting Kevin777 (Reply 11): For *members SK and LH, BD is rather an annoying ex-wife that you're still stuck on because you have to pay her subsidies. Nothing would thrill SK and LH more than getting control of bmi, so they could do with it what they want - probably selling off a lot of the LHR slots and eventually sell off what's left to an PE fund or whatever. |
Quoting StarGoldLHR (Reply 9): BMI is just another example of an old man who doesnt want to let his child grow. So instead bmi gave birth to it's baby in the back yard of a birmingham council house, now it's got asthma. |
