About Bmi British Midland

bmi was formed in 1930 as Air Schools Limited, a flight training school for RAF pilots. In the years since, the airline has gained unparalleled experience and expertise in a wide range of operating environments and markets throughout the world. In more recent times, the airline has been best recognised for its unique contribution to shaping and taking advantage of open skies within the United Kingdom and Europe.

Throughout its history bmi has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to compete effectively against dominant flag carriers on monopolistic routes. It has achieved great success in the face of some of the stiffest competition anywhere in the world and its contribution to the development of a competitive European aviation market has been unique. It has been so successful that of all the airlines pushing for the right to operate transatlantic services from Heathrow, bmi is the only airline capable of providing an adequate European feeder service into Heathrow in its own right.

Today, bmi is the second largest scheduled carrier at the biggest international airport in the world, London Heathrow, accounting for 12 per cent of all take-off and landing slots. On its route network, which covers the UK domestic market, Europe, the Russian Federation and long-haul to the USA, Caribbean and Saudi Arabia, the airline operates over 1,700 flights per week to 32 destinations with a modern fleet of 42 aircraft.

bmi’s commitment to providing outstanding customer service has resulted in the airline receiving over 50 prestigious industry awards since 1990, most notably it has won Best UK Domestic Airline (Travel Weekly) for the past 10 consecutive years.

bmibaby

Throughout 2007 bmibaby has continued to increase its range of destinations from its bases at Birmingham, Cardiff, East Midlands and Manchester. Competition in the low cost arena remains extremely strong and through this expansion bmibaby has maintained its position as the largest Midlands-based low cost airline. Revenues have also been enhanced through an increase in a wide range of ancillary sales activities with third party providers. In line with the group’s focus on delivering on-time schedules, bmibaby was Britain’s most punctual low cost airline in 2007.

bmi regional operates an all-jet fleet of modern Embraer 135 and 145 aircraft from the following UK airports: Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds Bradford, Manchester, Norwich and East Midlands Airport. bmi regional has again reported another successful year of operation. It continues to achieve an exceptional record of punctuality and reliability and has been officially named the UK’s most punctual and reliable airline for a third successive year.
