bmibaby axe 5 Birmingham Airport routes
26.11.08
Budget airline bmibaby is axing flights on five of its 21 routes from Birmingham Airport next summer. From the end of March the airline has scrapped its services from Birmingham to Rome (Fiumicino), Milan (Bergamo), Lisbon, Madrid and Bordeaux. The airline, part of the bmi group, said the move was in response to a lack of demand, with travellers cutting down on city breaks.
Founder and Chairman Sir Michael Bishop recently agreed to sell his controlling stake in the group to German airline Lufthansa. bmibaby is widely regarded to be set for a sale or closure once the deal is complete. The decision is expected to lead to 65 job losses in Birmingham, as well as five in the East Midlands.
