This presumably means the BCN BD for LX is being canx too.
Looks like you are right hugolover. How careless of LH-owned LX, that LX announces at this time that a slot at LHR is being kept by LH group, but no longer run by BMI even before the sale. Will we see Brussels Airlines in future performing such a role as Bmi has done, i.e. wetlease operations for LH group on less desirable routes? Where else will we see Brussels Airlines step in, in future, I wonder...hmmm they do fly to regional airports in UK already, do they not?
