Low fare airline bmibaby to close
4 May 2012Low fare carrier bmibaby is set to close later this year, threatening the loss of hundreds of jobs and the ending of its flights.
The carrier transferred to International Airlines Group, the owners of British Airways, last month, but consultations have now started with unions about its closure in September.
With bmi Regional, bmibaby transferred to International Airlines Group ownership on completion of the purchase from Lufthansa. IAG has consistently said that bmibaby and bmi Regional are not part of its long-term plans.
