Durham Tees Valley Airport sues bmi for £12m
27.04.08
Durham Tees Valley Airport is suing bmi (British Midland) for more than £12m after it allegedly broke a contract to fly out of the North-East airfield, the Mail reports. The airport claims bmi's budget arm, bmibaby, struck a ten-year deal to run 30 flights a week with two Boeing 737s to ten named destinations from the airport, paying fees based on passenger numbers.
The airport, part of the Peel Group, claims that bmibaby flew just one 737 and failed even to ensure that it was full. It cancelled all operations from the airport in November 2006, seven years before the deal was due to expire, according to a High Court writ.
DTVA is making a claim for £12,523,686, based on actual and potential losses. A spokesman for bmi told the newspaper that it would be defending the action.
