BMI on the sale to IAG: From the Horses Mouth to the Diamond Club members

30/03/2012 by Kevincm

This came in a notch earlier from Diamond Club on the sale of BMI to IAG (British Airways):

For those of you who can’t see the image:

We’d like to advise you that the EU Competition Authority has today approved the sale of bmi to IAG. We are very aware that Diamond Club members want to know what will happen to their accounts when bmi is acquired by British Airways.

The deal between bmi and British Airways is due to be completed around 20 April 2012. We would like to reassure you that we plan to operate our summer schedule as normal and you can continue to earn and redeem Diamond Club miles during this period.

We are working together to announce a Diamond Club partnership with British Airways. This will include the ability to earn and redeem Diamond Club destinations miles across the bmi and BA networks.

We will be communicating regularly with you as more information becomes available and flybmi.com will also be updated with the latest information.

Regards

I’d expect to hear more after the 20th April. For now, BMI seems to be remaining in the Star Alliance in the very short term.

20th April is still enough time to get some redemption’s in. So… you know what to do!

    Does anyone have an idea whether BMI mileage holders will be able to access Star Alliance post the full merger with BA? Are mileage holders typically given a choice in these cases whether to swap to another Star Alliance member or convert to the BA program? Thank you.
