Spanair made a big song and dance about coming to Birmingham, and BMI Baby dutifully moved aside to allow the full service Star Alliance carrier in and suspend it’s own services.
However, this has now backfired into BMI Baby’s face as Spanair has decided not to offer the server BHX service any more.
Spanair had been due to commence four-times weekly flights to Barcelona on May 20, and three-times weekly services to Madrid on May 25, with BMI Baby stepping aside from the 7th June.
This means there are now no flights to Madrid or Barcelona from Birmingham International Airport. Which is a pain if you want to head there.
Birmingham International Airport hopes these routes are popular enough for another carrier to come in (or to convince BMI Baby to restart the route).
We’ll see as they say.
