Flybe in talks to buy bmi regional, bmi baby
1 December 2008British airline Flybe is in talks to buy British Midland’s subsidiary operations bmi regional and bmi baby, the Mail on Sunday reported.
Lufthansa took over British Midland last month, but the German airline has indicated it is more interested in bmi’s long-haul routes and valuable Heathrow slots than in the two subsidiaries.
Bmi regional is UK-focused, while bmi baby is a low-cost airline that flies to a number of European destinations.
