Today, British Airways has announced further details of their winter 2012 schedule, including its plans for routes operated by bmi.

The following bmi routes will launch as new BA routes from 28 October: Almaty, Amman, Baku, Beirut and Freetown. Tbilisi, which currently operates via Baku will become a British Airways flight served direct from London Heathrow from 13 October.. BA will also take over bmi flights to Dublin.

bmi's services to Dammam (from 16 September), Bishkek and Khartoum services (from 1 October), Yerevan (from 13 October), and Amritsar and Casablanca (from 28 October) will be suspended.

bmi services to Cairo and Moscow will cease from 5 September and 12 October respectively due to restrictions on the number of flights BA is allowed to operate to both destinations. bmi's Riyadh and Jeddah service will also stop from 16 September as BA already serves these routes. For customers travelling to Riyadh, BA will offer a larger Boeing 747 on the route and flights will be retimed to arrive at Heathrow in the early morning, enabling customers to land in time for a full day in London and allowing for better connection possibilities.

Also announced today were improvements to some of BA’s other routes from London Heathrow. Flights to Gibraltar will increase from seven to nine a week, Cape Town flights will be retimed to offer an early morning arrival into Heathrow and better onward connections, and services to Tel Aviv will increase from 14 to 20 flights per week.

British Airways will also offer new flights from Heathrow to Alicante, starting on 28 October with three flights per week and a new service from Heathrow and Rotterdam with three daily flights, starting from 9 December.

Customers continue to be directed to ba.com/bmi for the very latest information regarding flight schedules and terminal information.

Kind regards,

bmi group press office

Thanks for posting this - mostly expected, all logical. And to the timetable that made sense. The change to the Riyadh flight is welcome.

BA will also take over bmi flights to Dublin.

Er, is this already in place? Or does the significance of this statement lie elsewhere?

Same for Amman, it already moved on 04 July, now they say 28 October. Glad someone at BA knows what's what......

So, that just leaves Tehran.

I think there maybe some confusion between the flights such as AMM and DUB being marketed as BA flights but ultimately you end up on a bmi aircraft with bmi crew, and in the winter, those bmi aircraft will be painted up, interiors changed from brown to blue cow, and operated by BA crews on BA's operators certificate (such as BSL and VIE for example are at the moment)
