Bmibaby ceased flying on Sunday (September 9) after its new owner IAG failed to find a buyer for the no-frills operation.
IAG chief executive Willie Walsh confirmed last month that the airline will close on September 9 following the end of a 90-day consultation process with Bmibaby’s 450 employees.
Bmibaby has reduced its flights schedule since Bmi was purchased from Lufthansa by IAG in May although it has continued operating services from East Midlands and Birmingham airports with the final flights running on Sunday.
Bmibaby was launched in 2002 by parent company Bmi as a no-frills airline operating from UK regional airports. It used a fleet of 14 B737 aircraft and offered more than 700 services per week in peak season.
Airlines such as Flybe and Monarch have moved to fill the gap created by the disappearance of Bmibaby at East Midlands with the latter opening a base at the airport.
Flybe starts its expanded schedule of flights from East Midlands on Monday (September 10) with new services to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
IAG has managed to sell another subsidiary Bmi Regional, based in Aberdeen, to Scottish group Sector Aviation for £8 million.
