BMI axe Aberdeen – Birmingham route
25.09.10
BMI has announced it will axe its route between Aberdeen and Birmingham from October 29 because the route has not ‘performed as expected’, the Press & Journal reports. The airline currently operates 11 weekly flights in each direction between the cities. Competitor Flybe immediately moved to fill the gap left by BMI and announced it would add four flights per week to its schedule to and from the north-east and the Midlands.
A spokeswoman for BMI said passengers booked on flights after October 29 would be refunded or rescheduled. She said: ‘The route between Aberdeen and Birmingham has not performed as expected, and with no sign of the situation improving BMI has taken the difficult decision to cancel this service.’ The spokeswoman added the cancellation means the airline will add a sixth weekly rotation to its service between Aberdeen and Manchester, ‘enabling us to meet the demand for seats during the peak afternoon travel period’.
