BMI slices more of itself up... what is there left?

Well even though I go a new Diamond Club Pack, it seems BMI is downsizing itself...

With the PR Spin distilled - it's bad news.
  • AMS (Amsterdam) to be suspended from 27 March 2010
  • TLV (Tel Aviv) suspended from London on 9 January 2010, and the last flight departing Tel Aviv on 10 January 2010
  • KPB (Kiev) suspended on 10 January 2010
  • ALP - (Aleppo), with the last departure from London being 9 January 2010 and the last departure from Aleppo being 10 January 2010.
  • BRU (Brussels) is transferred from BMI to Brussels Airlines.

Also:
  • 2 x A330's are approaching end of lease, and are to be returned to lessor - ending the long haul BMI Dream
  • 2 x ERJ aircraft are now up for sale
  • and most sad of all - 600 posts affected - and leading to redundancies.

Good luck to those involved.
