It seems BMI is getting busy with its little family at Lufthansa, and taking on BA with a 3 times a day service from London Heathrow to Basel, as well as a service from Manchester to Basel.
This will be operated on BMI Airbus A319 metal, with Swiss Codesharing these flights.
There is the loss of the LCY-BSL service operated by Swiss AvroJets
Service commences on both routes from 29th March – the same date the LCY-BSL Service terminates.
So where has the aircraft come for this? Sadly, it’s one of the old feeder routes that will suffer – London to Manchester which is now downgraded to a ERJ.
Which I’ll write about later on….
