INTERNATIONAL. bmi, Britain’s second largest airline at London Heathrow has announced a restructuring programme that will see it suspend a number of routes as a result of unprecedented market conditions.
The route suspensions are as follows:
Routes are being suspended to improve the profitability of bmi which is now 100% owned by Lufthansa who are committed to helping bmi restructure the airline to return it to profitability.
Going forward, the airline will focus on routes serving oil, energy and emerging markets with a particular focus on Business Class customers and those visiting friends and relatives.
The airline will maintain its current UK and Ireland network providing frequency for business travellers and feeder connections for its own network and that of Star Alliance.
Dominic Paul, bmi’s Managing Director, said: “We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience the route suspensions will cause our customers and would like to take this opportunity to thank those who have supported us on these routes for their loyalty and business.
Reprotection options will be available to all affected customers from 2 December 2009 and we will be contacting customers in order of travel date.”
