Jump to postNo surprise about the dropping of some of those routes.

Jump to postI believe this was always going to be the plan - it is not something that has arisen due to the issues of G4S or understaffing stories you may have read elsewhere.

Jump to postI'd say you have some decent experience (per your website).

Jump to postIt's easy to forget that most of the airlines mentioned in your example still compete against each other - even if they are in the same alliance. That's what it comes down to - at the end of the day the number 1 priority for an airline is to get people buying tickets to fly on your own aircraft. Cod...

Jump to postAs said above, the last major short-haul order was for a mass of A319's when they were struggling with the rise of the LCC's. The downsizing in capacity was seen as economic sense. Likewise, the 757's were ordered in an era when it was the norm to pay £400 for a shorthaul ticket to anywhere (inc. do...

Jump to postIt's great news. I still believe it will last 18 months though before collapse. Some how it would be nice to see the bmi name live on though.
Jump to postInteresting news. I think they may find it hard, particularly with the ethnic traffic who are used to Korean and Asiana. But if the J yields are there, and I'm sure they could be - this will help.
Jump to postIn answer to the OP question, the type has been modestly popular. When combining all variants, 146 and the Avro's the aircraft was a sales success. The aircraft has been operated by several blue chip airlines globally and some in significant numbers. The capacity of the larger models is close to wha...
Jump to postThey should definitely try to keep the bmi name. I'd say the airline is going to need as much help as possible if sold and any sort of brand recognition would be helpful. That said, if sold, I give the airline 18 months before its demise. There is just no business case for a new regional airline. Th...
