bmi deny ghost flight plans
17.07.08
bmi has denied reports that it will fly near-empty planes this winter - so called ghost flights - to maintain lucrative landing rights at Heathrow. The airline's MD, Tim Bye, told the Times that fuel costs and a sales downturn would make some services ‘marginal’, but ‘we have to keep flying to preserve our slots’.
However, a spokesman said: ‘bmi categorically denies that it is its policy to operate empty or near-empty services at Heathrow. bmi has never adopted such a strategy and reports that it intends to do so are completely without foundation.’
