You will collect miles in the same way as any other bmi flight. Astraeus are simply an aircraft provider, and have no commercial interest (other than collecting lease payments) in the operation. I've rambled a bit, so I hope that's clear!

Indeed, it is not a 'real' code-share, so regular BD mileage accrual rules apply:
