BA steps up bmi integration
Flight schedule will remain the same – with just the code and flight number changing – and British Airways policies will apply to any bmi flight which switches to a BA flight number.
The changes will come into effect from May 23 on bmi flights to and from Bergen, Basel, Nice, Vienna, Stavangar, Hanover, Agadir, Marrakech and Casablanca.
Customers who have booked directly with bmi will receive an email advising them of the new flight number The flight schedule, including time, date and terminal will remain the same and British Airways plans to operate bmi’s summer schedule to and from Heathrow.
Further routes will be changed over to British Airways’ system in the coming weeks. These changes are part of plans to integrate bmi into British Airways for the start of the winter season, with the gradual transition of flights during the summer.
During this period, the exterior and interior design of bmi’s aircraft, as well as the onboard experience will gradually transform into British Airways’ style.
The integration of bmi into British Airways will see an increase in frequencies and destinations and BA has already announced that it is now able to start a new Heathrow service to Seoul in North Korea.
