BMIBABY has had a busy week (some would say it has grown up ” the airline made its first flight just two years ago on 20 March 2002 and last year carried over 1.7m passengers). Whilst still part of the BMI Group Plc, with its registered address now at Donnington Hall, Derby, East Midlands, it now has its own Operating Licence and Air Operators Certificate issued by the UK Civil Aviation Authority. At the International Tourism Fair (ITB) in Berlin last week bmibaby announced a tie-up with another successful budget carrier Germanwings (part of Eurowings) to co-operate and develop sales opportunities for both airlines. Lufthansa has an interest in the parent company of both carriers. A new route from East Midlands to Knock in Ireland was also announced.
