Lufthansa To Cut More BMI Capacity

Matthew Klint Posted onApril 15, 2010 Leave a Comment

As if BD’s route map hasn’t been thinned out enough the last two years:

<paragraph_body> <paragraph_body> <paragraph_body> <paragraph_body>The Lufthansa Group plans to cut 25 percent of the capacity of its recently acquired United Kingdom subsidiary BMI, according to reports published today. The axing of unprofitable routes, which will involve the loss of 800 jobs, is expected to save £100 million per year.

Chief executive officer Wolfgang Prock-Schauer, who was parachuted into the job by Lufthansa in November 2009, also said the airline will revert to its original full name of British Midland International. The airline lost £156 million in 2008 and Prock-Schauer expects the figure for 2009 to be slightly worse…

We’ll see what this means for the new Berlin and Vienna routes from LHR.

And the future of Diamond Club…
