BMI British Midland
British Midland Airways, styled as bmi, (the company’s trademark, formerly operated as British Midlands) is a scheduled airline based in Donington Hall, close to East Midlands Airport, United Kingdom. The airline flies to destinations in Europe, North America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia whilst its operational bases are Manchester Airport and London Heathrow Airport. In January 2007, BMI bought British Mediterranean Airways which has enabled it to serve a wider range of mid-haul destinations.
Service
BMI has recently upgraded their cabins. The old reclining business class seats have been moved into premium economy making them one of the largest in the class. Business now boasts lie flat beds.
Subsidiaries
In 2002, BMI set up a low-cost subsidiary Bmibaby using redundant Boeing 737s which were displaced after BMI’s fleet renewal programme favoured an all-Airbus fleet. Bmibaby now flies routes between secondary airports around Europe, as such it does not operate from Heathrow. Bmibaby is one of the leading airlines in the low-cost market, it flies to destinations in Europe from its main bases at East Midlands, Manchester, Cardiff, and Birmingham.
